Max Scherzer made his return to New York on Monday just weeks after his July 29 trade from the Mets to the Texas Rangers.
Mets fans didn't always see prime Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young winner who helped lead the Washington Nationals to their only World Series championship. But he was certainly no slouch in New York. In 1 1/2 seasons, Scherzer posted a 3.02 ERA and 1.028 WHIP with 294 strikeouts and 54 walks in 253 innings pitched. He was 20-9 in 42 starts.
But the Mets fell short of lofty expectations during his tenure, and his departure at the trade deadline. This iteration of the Mets instead posted a single playoff win in a wild-card loss to the San Diego Padres last season sit in last place in the NL East this season. So Scherzer's return doesn't necessarily elicit warm feelings from the Mets faithful.
