In a recent revelation that has stirred up the baseball community, ace pitcher Max Scherzer of the New York Mets disclosed that his wife, Erica, played a pivotal role in his decision to accept a trade.
The decision was made following indications from the Mets that they were not planning to reload for the upcoming season.
Scherzer, in a statement, said, “She gets it. She wants a World Series. She knows what we play for.” This candid admission has since been met with a flurry of reactions from fans and followers across various social media platforms, including Reddit.
Some speculated that Erica’s influence might have been driven by the desire to avoid the potential disappointment of being on a losing team towards the end of Scherzer’s career.
While other commenters expressed understanding and support for Scherzer’s decision.
Meanwhile, some fans are excited about watching him pitch for the Rangers.
However, not all reactions were positive. Some shared a less favorable memory of Scherzer, recalling instances where the pitcher underperformed in crucial games last season.
This comment sparked a discussion about the potential success of Scherzer’s pursuit of another World Series title.
Despite the mixed reactions, one thing is clear: Scherzer’s decision has sparked a lively debate among baseball fans.
As the new season approaches, all eyes will be on Scherzer and the Rangers, watching to see if this move will bring them closer to the coveted World Series title.
