The Max Scherzer sweepstakes is really heating up, with several teams fired up to try and land his services. Could Scherzer make his way to the Big Apple? That's what the New York Mets are hoping for.

According to a report, the Mets have an offer on the table worth more than $40 million per year. Will it be enough to land the righty?

Steve Cohen is serious about potentially landing Scherzer, but other reports suggest he may want to stay in California. Only time will tell where he lands, but the Mets want Scherzer and they want him bad in this case.
