Max Scherzer’s wife Erica told him to accept Mets trade: ‘She gets it’

Max Scherzer’s wife, Erica, played a large role in him accepting a trade from the Mets to the Rangers.

“Scherzer was not itching to leave the Mets. His wife Erica and four children were comfortable in New York, they felt, ‘Hey, the Mets train not far from their home in Jupiter, Florida,'” Rosenthal reported.

“But when the Mets told Scherzer they do not plan to reload for 2024, Erica, former college softball pitcher at University of Missouri, said, ‘Accept a trade.’ Max said: ‘She gets it. She wants a World Series. She knows what we play for.'”Erica Scherzer reportedly played a role in Max accepting a trade.Since Scherzer held a no-trade clause, any trade needed his approval, and that became a major point of focus leading into the trade deadline.

Scherzer also held an option for 2023 that complicated the proceedings since teams wanted to know if they were acquiring him for just 2023 or also 2024.
