Max Scherzer, a star pitcher of the New York Mets, is making good use of his eye-popping salary. The 38-year-old is a true gem in Major League Baseball, given his talents as well as his list of accomplishments. Thrice winner of the Cy Young Award, a World Series champ, and an eight-time MLB All-Star, Scherzer has achieved legend status. Teams certainly recognize his talent and have offered him lucrative contracts in exchange for his services on the field.
In fact, the pitcher’s 2010 contract with the Washington Nationals was one of the biggest contracts of the time. Valued at $210 million for seven years, it was one of the largest in American sports history. Fast forward to 2023 and the 38-year-old has set the record for the highest average annual value baseball contract ever. And according to recent reports, he’s spending his $43 million earnings per season.

Back in March, it was reported that longtime newspaper publisher Robert Smylie had listed his 0.7-acre Jupiter, Florida house for sale. Scherzer was apparently in talks to buy the property whose owner’s asking price was $18 million. Smylie had originally purchased the house in 1999 for $2.9 million. Now, the owners of the massive home are Scherzer and his wife Erica and they plan to tear it down.
