LOS ANGELES (AP) â Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw were part of the same draft class. Now they get to be on the same team.
In his first comments since being acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers from the Washington Nationals in a blockbuster trade last Friday, Scherzer said he's eager to team up with Kershaw and join a talented rotation as the defending World Series champions try to overtake the San Francisco Giants in the NL West.
âItâs been great to compete against him. And you know, you push yourself to try to try to match what he can do. Now we get to be on the same team and actually compete for the same prize,â Scherzer said before Tuesday night's game against Houston.
