Max Scherzer has been everything the Dodgers could have dreamed for.

At 37 years old and four years removed from his previous Cy Young Award, the Los Angeles Dodgers may have been expecting too much from Max Scherzer. That was, as it turned out, an underestimation of his abilities.

Max Scherzer has been everything the Dodgers could have dreamed for

On Monday, the biggest prize of the 2021 MLB trade deadline maintained his dominance as a Dodger, pitching eight innings against the St. Louis Cardinals, allowing six hits and one unearned run while striking out 13 and walking none. Those figures correspond to the tape, which was electric. Scherzer is 5-0 with a 1.05 ERA, 0.77 WHIP,.177 batting average against, and 63 strikeouts in 43 innings pitched for the Dodgers in seven starts. He hasn’t given up a run in either of his starts with the Dodgers. It’s difficult to determine what a reasonable expectation for Scherzer at the time of his trade would have been, but it wasn’t that.

You’re almost talking about a 2008 CC Sabathia-level impact deadline trade with that stat line. The only place where Scherzer hasn’t delivered is at the plate, where he’s 0-for-52 in a historically bad offensive season. The Dodgers acquired Scherzer and shortstop Trea Turner from the Washington Nationals in exchange for a package of prospects led by catcher Keibert Ruiz and starting pitcher Josiah Gray. Turner was hitting.313/.359/.481 for Los Angeles entering Monday. Scherzer is a rental after this season because he is a free agent (the Dodgers also signed Turner for 2022), but in a season where the Dodgers are in the most competitive division fight since 2018, the franchise has nothing to regret so far.
