Following days of increased MLB free agency activity, the hot stove has now officially been cranked up to high heat.
Three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer is reportedly finalizing a multi-year deal with the Mets, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.
MLB Network's Jon Heyman first reported that the deal would be for three-years and $130 million.
Scherzer, 37, went 15–4 with a 2.46 ERA in 30 starts for the Dodgers and Nationals last season, getting traded to Los Angeles in a blockbuster deal at the trade deadline. He made the All-Star team for the eighth consecutive time and finished third in Cy Young Award voting.
