I hope my dad is back on the team,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">She went on to explain why she hoped her father would return: \u201cMy whole family loves spending time in Toronto with our dad. We loved the aquarium, CN Tower and of course, the stadium. I am looking forward to coming back next season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cLove, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsn.ca\/mlb\/player\/max-scherzer\/326473\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.tsn.ca\/mlb\/player\/max-scherzer\/326473\" target=\"_blank\">Max Scherzer<\/a>\u2019s daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Scherzer is no longer in All-Star form on the mound, but the veteran right-hander still chipped in for the Blue Jays run last season with a 5.19 ERA across 85 innings &#8212; almost doubling his workload from the season prior. The future Hall of Famer was useful in the postseason as well, posting a 3.77 ERA and a 1-0 record across three starts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In December, Max Scherzer\u2019s 8-year-old daughter, Brooke, wrote a letter to the Toronto Blue Jays with a simple&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":501704,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,84941,462,82,75156],"class_list":["post-501703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-max-scherzer-sports-baseball-player-player-statscom-326473","tag-mlb","tag-sports","tag-toronto-blue-jays-sports-baseball-team-team-statscom-238"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501703\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
