Max Scherzer is an intense guy. It shows when he is on an MLB mound, he who spares no effort to achieve his ends.
And what we learned in union negotiations is that he’s the same kind of person behind closed doors when it comes time to talk to MLB owners.
We already knew that the pitcher was an important player for the Players Association, but the last few days have made it possible to understand how important.
According to reports, Scherzer has shaken some people with his rather tough style of negotiation against the bosses.
Are you surprised?
Obviously, we can make connections with his contract and wonder why a player who earns $43 million per year goes to the front in this way, but it proves that he has the good of all players at heart.
But clearly, the fact of having signed his contract before the work stoppage takes a weight off his shoulders, we will tell each other.
Will acting like this ever stop a team from hiring him as a manager since he fights hard for the players? Or on the contrary, is he trying to convince the bosses that he clearly knows how to negotiate?
The question arises, but I really believe that in the short term, Scherzer thinks more about returning to the field than about his post-career. He wants justice for his teammates.
And I can’t say I’m surprised.
