New York Mets pitcher Max Scherzer has reportedly paid a staggering $5.4 million for a luxurious home on Long Island. This comes after Scherzer agreed to a three-year, $130 million deal last year. According to the New York Post, Max and his wife Erica plan to occupy this new residence in 2023.
The Hamptons-inspired house is located in Brookville, New York, and spans four acres of ground. Some of the features of the opulent home include an open-concept dining area, large patios, a media room, manicured gardens, a pool with a Jacuzzi, an outdoor shower, and a separate pool house.

It goes without saying that Scherzer would treat himself with the best out of all the money he's received in wages and sponsorships.

New York Mets' All-Star pitcher Max Scherzer acquired the $5.4 million Long Island mansion just two years after paying $9.75 million for a Florida estate. Within a guard-gated private estate neighborhood in Palm Beach County, the waterfront mansion sits a little under an acre.

In between two back-to-back property purchases within two years, Scherzer sold a property in 2021. He sold his McLean property overlooking the Potomac River after being moved from the Washington Nationals to the New York Mets. He signed a deal with the Nationals in 2015, and then paid $5.2 million for the mansion.
Scherzer will doubtless be looking to stay in his opulent new property for many years to come.
