The last spring training of Max Scherzer’s $210 million, seven-year contract with the Washington Nationals is not exactly beginning the way he — or the team — would prefer. So as soon as I can get that mobility back in the ankle, I’ll be off the mound here pretty soon,” Scherzer said in a video conference with reporters. Honestly, I don’t know, I’m pretty good about tuning all this ... out,” Scherzer said. “I just want him to have the best year of his career, and then whatever happens after that, happens,” Martinez said. Get him back on the mound.”NOTE: Martinez said Strasburg, who had carpal tunnel surgery on his throwing wrist in August, is “well on his way to open up with us, as if it was a regular spring training.”
