Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - The Detroit Tigers and pitcher Max Scherzer
have reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year deal on Monday.
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the two sides have avoided
arbitration and quoted CBSSports.com as saying that the deal is worth $6.725
million.
Scherzer went 16-7 last season with a 3.74 earned run average and finished
second in the majors with 231 strikeouts, second only to teammate Justin
Verlander's 239 punchouts.
A five-year veteran, he has a record of 52-42 with a 3.88 ERA and 829
strikeouts over 142 games (133 starts) with Arizona and Detroit.
Detroit has now signed all of its arbitration-eligible players.
