Max Scherzer is on his way out from the New York Mets, barring a massive reversal, less than 24 hours after he said he was reconsidering his future with the team.
The Mets have agreed on a trade with the Texas Rangers that will send the three-time Cy Young winner to the AL West, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman and The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. The deal required Scherzer's approval due to his no-trade clause, which he will waive, according to SNY's Andy Martino, but there are still reportedly some financial hurdles for the teams to clear before the deal goes through, as well as the usual medical approvals.
