Max Scherzer Booed By Bitter Mets Fans in Return to Citi Field

Rangers star pitcher Max Scherzer returned to Citi Field for a clash against the Mets for the first time since he was traded by the franchise at the 2023 MLB trade deadline.

It wasn’t a warm welcome from fans in Queens for the 39-year-old. The organization prepared a video tribute ahead of the clash at Citi Field, but it doesn’t seem the fanbase had any interest in celebrating its former pitcher.

When the video tribute began to play, a chorus of boos could be heard cascading across the stadium, making it abundantly clear how the fans, at least those in attendance, feel about Scherzer.
