Regardless of how the Los Angeles Dodgers‘ season ends, you can bet the front office will be jumping at the opportunity to keep Max Scherzer on the roster come November.
The three-time Cy Young winner will be a free agent once his massive seven-year, $210 million contract expires in just over a month and he’ll be a hot commodity since he’s going to finish either first or second in the 2021 Cy Young race. He could have a fourth award when all is said and done.
Following the likely permanent loss of Trevor Bauer, Dustin May’s recovery from Tommy John surgery, and the fact Clayton Kershaw likely only has a few years left, the Dodgers will be doing everything in their power to keep Scherzer on board for 2022 and beyond.
