Three-Time Cy Young Award Winner Max Scherzer Plans to Wait Until Offseason to Decide on Future
The 42-year-old right-hander allowed four runs in five innings and said he may announce his future in the next few days.
- Max Scherzer reached his 500th career appearance Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles, allowing four runs over five innings as the 42-year-old Toronto Blue Jays pitcher nears the end of his 19th season.
- Throughout his 19-year Major League Baseball career, Scherzer built a Hall of Fame resume featuring three Cy Young awards, two World Series titles, eight All-Star selections, and 3,550 strikeouts.
- Scherzer posted a 6.14 ERA this season after allowing four runs in Wednesday's 4-2 loss, yet he told Sportsnet, "I'm not limping to the finish line, I'm accelerating through the finish line."
- Manager John Schneider confirmed Scherzer could pitch on short rest Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds, potentially offering the veteran a final home crowd ovation before season's end.
- When asked about retirement plans, Scherzer laughed and said "Maybe," though he teased that an announcement about his future could be coming soon after the season ends.
