SEOUL, South Korea (AP) By Jang Hyun-koo Reporter = Right-handed hard-throwing pitcher Max Scherzer (39) will move from the New York Mets to the Texas Rangers.MLB.com reported on Tuesday (Sept. 30), citing sources, that Texas and the New York Mets have agreed to a trade for Scherzer and that Scherzer has removed the trade veto he inserted into his contract when he signed with the Mets two years ago, removing an obstacle to his move to Texas.The three-time Cy Young Award winner will help Texas fill the void left by Jacob deGrom, whose season ended prematurely last month following right elbow surgery.The Mets and Rangers have not officially announced the trade.However, MLB.com and other U.S. media outlets reported that the Mets agreed to terms with the Rangers, who will pay the remainder of Scherzer’s $22.5 million salary this year and the full amount of next year’s player option ($43.3 million) exercised by Scherzer, while acquiring from Texas rising 온라인카지노 infield prospect Luis Angel Acuña, the younger brother of superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. (Atlanta Braves).Scherzer is 9-4 with a 4.01 ERA this season and is one of the best pitchers of his generation with a career record of 210-106 with a 3.15 ERA and 3,314 strikeouts .His $43.3 million salary this year alone makes him the highest-paid player in MLB. However, he has struggled this season, giving up an average of 1.9 home runs per nine innings due to a decline in his velocity, the most in his 16th season as a big leaguer .The Mets’ one-two punch strategy of starting Scherzer and Justin Verlander has failed.Texas is approaching the lofty dream of “fall baseball” by leading the American League West, knocking last year’s World Series champion Houston Astros to second place.
