The Mets and Max Scherzer agreed to a three-year, $130 million deal.

The contract comes with a record $43.33 million average annual salary and an opt out after the second year, along with a full no-trade clause.

The deal also surpasses the average annual value for any player in MLB history, leaving behind the $36 million per year the Yankees are giving Gerrit Cole, as well as the $85 million over the first two years of Trevor Bauer’s deal he signed with the Dodgers a year ago.

The Mets and new owner Steve Cohen tried to make a big splash with Bauer last offseason, offering the right-hander a three-year, $105 million contract before he ultimately signed with the Dodgers.

Scherzer, 37, had also been linked to the Dodgers and Angels this offseason, but instead became part of the early free-agent frenzy by the Mets.

The lasting impact of six former players was formally recognized on Sunday with their selections to the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2022.

Gil Hodges, Jim Kaat, Minnie Miñoso and Tony Oliva were elected by the Golden Days Era Committee, and Bud Fowler and Buck O’Neil were chosen by the Early Baseball Era Committee in voting that took place in Orlando, Fla.

They will all be honored, along with any selections from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot, at the July 24, 2022, induction ceremony in Cooperstown, N.Y.

This was the first meeting of both the Early Baseball Era and Golden Days Era Committees. The Early Baseball Era Committee considered candidates who made their contributions to baseball prior to 1950, while the Golden Days Era Committee considered candidates from 1950-69.

The New York Giants received another butt whooping on Sunday. This time, it came at the hands of the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Giants were thoroughly decimated, 37-21, at SoFi Stadium on Sunday and were dropped to 4-9 on the season. There was very little positive to come from the game, although one bright spot was Saquon Barkley, who ran hard.

The Giants were without starting quarterback Daniel Jones again but were saved the indignity of starting the very green Jake Fromm when Mike Glennon cleared the concussion protocol on Friday.

It didn’t really matter. The Giants did not put up much of a fight. They can’t score on offense and now they can’t seem to stop the opposition from scoring.
