"I feel healthy. I feel good. I just want to pitch. I'm just focusing on myself, making sure I'm healthy and that I can go out and pitch the way I can. If I can go out there and be myself and who I can be - there's times we saw it last year - then I can definitely help the ball club win."
"At the moment, with the season opener still 23 days away, having too many quality starters is a great problem to have - one that all 29 other clubs would love to have. But it's a complex problem that still lacks an easy solution if Scherzer remains on track for Opening Day."
Max Scherzer has declared his intention to be fully stretched out and ready for the Toronto Blue Jays' Opening Day on March 27 against the Athletics, much sooner than initially anticipated. The 19-year veteran feels healthy and focused on building up as a starter during spring training, targeting 75-80 pitches by his final spring outing. If Scherzer remains on track, the Blue Jays could have seven quality starters available, including co-aces Kevin Gausman and Dylan Cease, plus Cody Ponce, Trey Yesavage, José Berríos, Eric Lauer, and eventually Shane Bieber. This surplus of talent creates both an advantage and a complex roster management challenge for the organization.
