Sign Max. He will set fire to a few gutless starters the Nats want to rely on.
if he comes back next year it’s going to be on a one year deal with a contender.
is there a contender with a spot for him in the rotation?
Max resigning with Nats will not only provide a powerful mentor but will also sell more tickets just to see him pitch. Win Win Lerner Family. Are you listening?
Max for all the marbles.
Respectable start for Max in Game 7 of the WS. Not as good as his previous start but still kept the Jays in the game for (almost) 5 innings.
I feel like the length sitting in the dugout was a factor. The Jays were really making the Dodgers work to get outs and he had to sit cooling off for ages before getting back out there. If he'd been able to keep the arm warm and the rhythm going he could have gone longer.
Not many pitchers still had it in their 40s (without PEDs). The Niekros and Big Units were statistical outliers and physical freaks of nature.
Meanwhile somewhere in New Hampshire, Bill Lee gets ready for another season.

Blue Jays right-hander Max Scherzer will begin a rehab assignment on Sunday with Triple-A Buffalo and fellow righty Dylan Cease could get back on a bullpen mound this weekend, manager John Schneider said ahead of Thursday night’s series opener against the Orioles.The 41-year-old Scherzer has been on the 15-day injured list since April 25 with forearm tendinitis and ankle inflammation. He threw to live hitters on Wednesday in Toronto.“Kind of right now it lines up like Sunday, Friday and see how he feels Sunday, really,” said Schneider of how many rehab starts Scherzer may need. “Talking to him today, he's kind of just taking it one start at a time. … So we'll see what the pitch count is. It could be anywhere from like 45 to, you know, 55, 60, depending on how he feels. So, kind of just reassess it after Sunday. But most likely [he’ll need] another one, I think.”
Scherzer had pitched to an uncharacteristic 9.64 ERA over five outings, completing six frames twice but failing to last half as long in the other three.
