Tom Brady changed Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ image with his astonishing skills after he joined the team in 2020. Now, Max Scherzer is believed to cause the same level of impact for the New York Mets in the 2022 season.

New York Mets spent a hefty amount of $130 million to sign the incredible pitcher. Courtesy of the huge deal, Max became the player with the highest average annual value.

From age to skills, the similarities between Tom Brady and Max Scherzer

Even in his 40s, Tom Brady is regarded as the greatest quarterback of all time. Remarkably, 37-year-old Max is also one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball.

After joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tom paved the way for the team to clinch the Super Bowl Championship. Former New York Mets legend, Ron Darling believes, Max will similarly take the Mets to new heights. Not to mention, the Mets have failed to clinch the World Series in 36 years.

Hence, the Mets are hoping Max will revolutionize the trajectory of the team. Ron Darling said, ”It’s palpable. You’re getting one of the great pitchers in the game and one of the great individuals you’re ever going to meet.”
