Max Scherzer Wants To Remain A Starter
25 seconds agoAccording to Jon Morosi of the MLB Network, free agent starting pitcher Max Scherzer wants to continue to be deployed out of a starting rotation during the 2025 season. Morosi noted that some sources suggested that clubs viewed Scherzer as a potential closer, but people close to Scherzer made it clear that he intends to remain a starter. The 40-year-old was limited to just 43 1/3 innings of work last season due to numerous injuries to his back, arm, and hamstring. However, earlier this offseason, Scherzer noted that a healthy offseason would set him up well for success in 2025. Morosi did note that "never say never" regarding Scherzer's eventual transition to a bullpen role. For now, fantasy managers should expect him to open the campaign as a starting pitcher if he finds a suitor.
