## Resource

Max Scherzer’s rough season stats shouldn’t overshadow his historic milestone—becoming just the 11th pitcher to reach 3,500 strikeouts—but the real debate is whether he deserved an All-Star nod via the Commissioner’s Legend Pick. While honoring him and Justin Verlander together could’ve been a fitting farewell for two Hall of Famers, both are sidelined or rehabbing, making the idea feel premature. Plus, with no official retirement announcements, calling it a “farewell tour” feels off. Ultimately, Scherzer’s legacy is secure, but the All-Star slot went to Bryce Harper—a better fit for the moment.
