Max Scherzer said the Dodgers were not wrong about the way he was used in the 2021 MLB playoffs, and that this did not influence his decision to sign in free agency with the Mets.

“I don’t blame the Dodgers,” Scherzer told the Los Angeles Times. “Maybe I just didn’t find out enough what he was talking about.”
