Alright, listen up, y’all. We gonna talk about this fella, Max Scherzer, and his money. Seems like he’s got a whole heap of it, that’s for sure. Don’t rightly know why they pay these fellas so much just for throwin’ a ball around, but that ain’t my business, I reckon.
This here Max Scherzer, he signed a contract, you see. A big ol’ contract with the New York Mets. Heard tell it was for three years. Three years! And you ain’t gonna believe how much money they promised him. Said it was a hundred and thirty million dollars. That’s a lot of zeros, y’all. More zeros than I seen in my whole life, I tell ya.
Now, they say he’s gettin’ paid forty-three million, three hundred thirty-three thousand, and thirty-three dollars a year on average. Can you even imagine that much money? I sure can’t. That’s enough to buy a whole lotta chickens, I’ll tell you that much. And probably a few tractors too.
But here’s the thing that gets me. This year, they sayin’ he’s gonna make fifty-two million, five hundred thousand dollars. Fifty-two million! And he ain’t even played that much. Heard tell he only started nine games. Nine games! And he’s gettin’ paid more money than most folks see in a lifetime. It just don’t seem right, does it?
- He signed that three-year contract back in 2021, on November twenty-ninth, to be exact.
- They guaranteed him all that money, the whole hundred and thirty million. Said it was “guaranteed.” Fancy word for “you gonna get paid no matter what,” I reckon.
- And even though he got hurt or somethin’, and ain’t playin’ much this year, he’s still gettin’ that big ol’ paycheck. Fifty-two million, five hundred thousand dollars. Makes my head spin just thinkin’ about it.
Now, I also heard somethin’ about him havin’ another contract before this one. With the Nationals, they said. A seven-year contract, this time. And this one was even bigger, they sayin’. Two hundred and ten million dollars. Lord have mercy! That’s enough money to buy a whole town, ain’t it? Maybe even a whole county.
So, this fella, Max Scherzer, he must be somethin’ special, I guess. Throwin’ that ball so hard, they just gotta pay him all that money. Still don’t make no sense to me, but then again, a lot of things don’t make sense these days. People payin’ all that money for fellas to play games, while folks out here workin’ their fingers to the bone just to put food on the table.
But that’s the way the world is, I suppose. Some folks got it easy, and some folks gotta work hard. And this Max Scherzer fella, he’s one of the lucky ones, that’s for sure. He’s got more money than he knows what to do with, I betcha. Hope he’s savin’ some of it, though. Money don’t last forever, you know. Even fifty-two million dollars.
Anyways, that’s the story of Max Scherzer and his contract, as best as I can tell it. A whole lotta money for playin’ a game. Makes you think, don’t it? Makes you think about what’s important in life. And it ain’t always about the money, that’s for sure.
So, there you have it. Max Scherzer and his big ol’ contracts. He signed one for three years with the Mets for a bunch of money, and he had another one before that with the Nationals for even more. And even though he ain’t playin’ much this year, he’s still gettin’ paid a whole heap. That’s about all I know. Don’t ask me no more questions, ’cause my head’s already spinnin’ from all them numbers.
