As we dive into the offseason, the spotlight is on two former aces, Max Scherzer and Walker Buehler, both of whom are looking to re-establish themselves as top-tier pitchers in the league. With Scherzer's recent injury struggles and Buehler's rocky return from Tommy John surgery, the question arises: which of these two has the better chance of bouncing back and reclaiming their status as an ace?
Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young winner, has faced a series of health issues that have limited his effectiveness and availability. Despite his pedigree, can we really trust him to deliver ace-level production at 41 years old? Or is he destined to be a shadow of his former self, struggling to stay on the mound?
On the other hand, Buehler, who is a decade younger, has shown flashes of brilliance but also had a dismal regular season. His playoff performance offers a glimmer of hope, but can he consistently harness that potential moving forward? Will the second Tommy John surgery hinder his ability to return to form, or can he defy the odds like some pitchers have done before him?
Let’s not forget the financial implications as both are entering free agency. What kind of contracts do you think they will command? Will teams be willing to take a risk on Scherzer's experience, or will they lean towards the younger Buehler, hoping for a resurgence?
I want to hear your thoughts! Who do you believe has the better chance of a successful comeback? What factors will influence their market value this offseason? And how do you see their careers evolving from here? Let’s discuss!
