Morning Briefing: Scherzer Market ‘Heating Up’
Good morning, Mets fans!
While the starting pitching market continues to dwindle with most of the top names being off the board, there are still a couple of future Hall of Famers on the market. Both Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander are searching for new homes, and Jon Heyman of the New York Post gave an update of Scherzer’s market on a Bleacher Report live stream. Heyman reported that the three-time Cy Young Award winner is fielding interest from four different teams. Along with that, he mentioned that the former Met’s market is “heating up,” so a signing may be imminent.
