Max Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, is heading into free agency after what he considers a frustrating season with the Texas Rangers. At 40 years old, Scherzer expressed his desire to pitch at a high level next season despite facing physical challenges this year. He was sidelined due to a strained left hamstring, ending his season prematurely. Scherzer made only nine starts, his fewest since his rookie year in 2008.
Scherzer's season was marred by injuries, including back surgery and a nerve issue during rehab. However, he remains optimistic about his future performance, citing the importance of a full offseason to address his physical condition. The veteran pitcher emphasized the need for proper training to ensure better health and performance next year.
