Los Angeles Dodgers

Over the past few weeks, Max Scherzer has reportedly shown more interest in remaining on the west coast, making the likelihood of him remaining with the Los Angeles Dodgers higher than expected.

Scherzer had an insane record with the team going 7-0 in the regular season before having a rather troubling outing against the Braves. Yet, considering the Braves then went to win it all, it’s not all that concerning.

The Dodgers have a winning mentality, being the 2020 world series winners and reaching the postseason almost every year in the past 10 years.

He’d also pitch alongside some of the best pitchers in baseball which is a very big selling point.

Yet at the end of the day, he wanted to test free agency for a reason and he has not been a free agent in a long time, spending 7 years with the Nationals.

Scherzer is in high demand and has the chance to have some more control over where he ends up for the first time in a while, as well as the fact that wherever he lands he’s most likely going to be there for three or four years.

The Dodgers have seemed to be the favorite in talks of where Scherzer will end up, but only time will tell.
