Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander, two dominant right-handers, are joining forces this season with the Mets
. Scherzer, 38, saw workload catch up with him by October each of the past two seasons. Both now have homes in Jupiter, Fla. — just down Interstate 95 from Port St. Lucie. Both are nearing the end of Hall of Fame careers, though neither seems to think the end is imminent.They each will make $43.3 million in 2023 — more than anyone else ever has and a number fittingly exact for meticulously competitive aces.
“It’s just one tool in your toolbox,” Verlander explained. At one point, he moved to a chair and motioned to the couch, suggesting his teammate lie there, as if in therapy. When one of them suggested he would “listen to it,” Verlander was affronted. “I know too much to let that slide,” he said. “And I think that’s where I sometimes have a hard time relating to people.”At times early in his career, Verlander earned a reputation for being focused entirely on himself. He admits now that he looked at what he needed to do and worried almost exclusively about that — that being more open to teammates has come with time, not naturally.
Severino didn’t sleep a wink. He called his dad, who reminded him that he knew how to call a game, even for Scherzer. He was so nervous that he got to the stadium hours earlier than usual, so he was sitting at his locker when Scherzer arrived. Scherzer threw all of his clothes on the floor, tossed the scouting reports off his chair, hurled pens away. Severino wanted to hide.
