Golf with Scherzer part of Meetings auction

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Want to play golf with Nationals right-hander Max Scherzer during Spring Training? How about lunch with manager Dusty Baker and his coaching staff?

As part of the fourth annual Winter Meetings charity auction, MLB, MLB Advanced Media, MLB Network and all 30 teams are putting a long list of items and events up for bid. This year's auction runs through 9 p.m. ET on Thursday on MLB.com and will help benefit cancer research.

This auction initiative has raised nearly $500,000 since its inception and a significant portion of the proceeds from the event will go to Stand Up To Cancer, a longtime partner of Major League Baseball, its founding donor in 2008.
