0:46Now PlayingWell, this is a stunner. Max Scherzer joining the Mets represents the opposite of inevitable.
Yet this signing might bring the Steve Cohen ownership to an inevitable juncture, a crucial test: How will he deal with a major sunk cost?
Perhaps I’m sounding the alarm for no reason. After all, the 37-year-old Scherzer just finished third in the 2021 National League Cy Young Award vote, finishing up a seven-year, $210 million agreement with the Nationals (who traded him to the Dodgers last July) that will go down as one of the best signings in baseball history.
Then again, this issue speaks less to the player than to the dollars: 130 million of them over three years, obliterating the previous record annual average value of $36 million that Gerrit Cole established with his Yankees deal in December 2019.
