The legendary ace Max Scherzer set to join the New York Mets on a historic three-year, $130 million deal, MLB Network's Jon Heyman reports.
Max Scherzer and the Mets are finalizing $130M, 3-year deal. Minor details to go only.
The $43.3 million per season would demolish MLB's all-time record for average annual value, currently held by Gerrit Cole's $36 million per year pact. ESPN's Jeff Passan reports the deal includes an opt-out after the second season, and the New York Post's Joel Sherman indicates the contract includes a full no-trade clause.
