According to multiple sources Former Dodger and three time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer agrees 3 year $130M deal with New York Mets.
If Max Scherzer’s deal gets done as the Mets expect, the average annual value will be somewhere in the range of $43 million a year — a staggering jump of nearly 20% from the current record AAV of $36 million held by Gerrit Cole. It is a huge number, especially for a 37-year-old.
This is the second time Scherzer has moved the AAV pitching bar up. He did so from $24M to $30M when he signed with the Nats, and now from $36M to $43.3M. He Is also the total $ leader for a pitcher. He is guaranteed to make $380M in his career now. Strasberg $365 and Cole $361M.
Scherzer deal includes player option for final two season and also deal will give the Mets a historically good one-two punch, with Jake deGrom.
