Dodgers: Max Scherzer Acknowledges Expectations Come with Joining Reigning World Champs

In what may have been the most exciting trade deadline in recent history, the Dodgers walked away as one of the biggest winners with the additions of Danny Duffy, Trea Turner, and especially Max Scherzer.

Everyone knew that Los Angeles would be looking for starting pitching, but I’m not sure anyone could have guessed that they would walk away with the biggest prize on the market. Now a proud member of the Dodgers, Max knows that the pressure to perform will be greater than ever before. On Tuesday afternoon, however, he sounded as if he’s ready to shoulder the expectations of a fanbase that’s hungry for more.
