Max Scherzer Reveals The Hilarious Way He Celebrated The End Of The MLB Lockout

The end of the MLB lockout certainly bought with it a whole host of sighs of relief. And while the fans appeared to be the party happiest with that outcome, the players seem to be pretty stoked too. Marking their return to the diamond in style, the players and the league managed to agree to a new Collective Bargaining Agreement just short of the 100-day mark; and Player’s Union representative Max Scherzer sure was ecstatic when the resolution came.

Max Scherzer concluded a blockbuster transfer just prior to the commencement of the lockout. Agreeing to switch to the New York Mets in a bumper $130 million 3-year deal, Scherzer sure seemed to be ready to get going for the season while he was negotiating. And the relief was clear when his return date was set.

Max Scherzer, in an interaction with the media, clarified that he celebrated his own way when the lockout ended. Said Scherzer, “I drank a lot!”

The reporters, though, seemed adamant to find out more details from the star pitcher about his celebrations at the end of what would have been a hectic stage for the player. And his relaxation seems to line up with that just fine. Even when asked specifics about his preferences, Scherzer seemed to stick to his line. “I drank a lot,” he continued with a cheeky grin.

With the lockout finally at an end, and baseball action set to resume; Scherzer will take the mound with new gusto. Now part of an elite rotation for the Mets with possibly one of the most elite 1-2 combinations in the league, Scherzer’s excitement is likely warranted. And he seems to be waring well with his teammate.

With his pitching partner Jacob deGrom too delivering some solid numbers prior to his injury last season; the Citi Field is bound to witness fireworks from the mound. All that remains to be seen, however, is how far the Mets as a cohesive unit can make it under the tutelage of seasoned managed Buck Showalter.
