Max Scherzer told NBC Sports Washington’s Todd Dybas this past Spring that if there are to be discussions about an extension that will keep him in D.C. beyond 2021, it would be up to the club to start those talks.
Scherzer, 36, was headed into the sixth season of the 7-year/$210M deal he signed with the Nationals back in January of 2015 at the time of the comments, so the topic wasn’t really as pressing at that point as it is now.
“Obviously, there is a time and place to think about that,” Scherzer told NBC Sports.
