Three-time Cy Young Award winners Max Scherzer of Texas and Justin Verlander of Houston are set to pitch against each other for the first time.
“I think it was a bit blown out of proportion, but there was some tension there,” Verlander said about the Detroit days. “I think we both decided to make an effort coming in to rekindle and to just move past that. Nobody needed to say anything. It was just, ‘All right, we’re better than that. Let’s make an effort to be friends.’ And we did. We really connected over a lot of things.”
“It’s just two highly competitive guys that were trying to find their foothold in the game who were very competitive and had very strong opinions about the way they went about their business,” Verlander said. “I think looking at each other now through a different lens, it’s two guys who we do go about things differently, but there’s more than one way to be successful.”
As disappointing as this season — and their endings — were with the Mets, both can see a silver lining.after the trade. “He’s obviously one of the great competitors of our time. And really get a download of how he is as a pitcher, how he’s evolved. Because the game has changed over the seven, eight years that we were apart.”
This is the third such meeting for Scherzer, who twice faced Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw after both had won three Cy Youngs.
