Max Scherzer’s Future with the Texas Rangers
Max Scherzer’s second season with the Texas Rangers has been a challenging one. The 40-year-old pitcher started the season on the injured list and has since been in and out of the lineup due to various injuries.
Despite the setbacks, Scherzer remains determined to continue his career in 2025. In a recent interview, he expressed his intention to keep pitching, citing his ability to compete at a high level and his desire to contribute to the team’s success.
Since joining the Rangers last year, Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, has faced multiple health issues, including a torn muscle, a nerve problem, back troubles, and arm fatigue. Despite these challenges, he remains confident in his abilities and is focused on returning to the mound as soon as possible.
However, Scherzer’s future with the Rangers beyond this season is uncertain, as he is set to become a free agent in the winter. With the team currently struggling in the standings, it remains to be seen if he will continue his career in Texas or explore other opportunities in the league.
Despite the uncertainties surrounding his future, Scherzer remains focused on his recovery and return to the field. He recently completed a successful bullpen session and is scheduled to increase his pitch count in the coming days. Depending on his progress, he may soon be back in action, contributing to the Rangers’ pitching rotation.
“Everything feels good,” Scherzer said after his recent session. “I think I’ve just tried to essentially do spring training in-season and that’s something I’ve never done before. This time, I thought I would need about five extra days. I needed about an extra week on top of that.”
