Summary
- Max Scherzer discussed Chris Bassitt's lack of shower shoes.
- Bassitt reportedly developed this habit recently with the Blue Jays.
- Teammates attempted to give Bassitt fungus to deter him.
Max Scherzer has been candid since re-signing with the Toronto Blue Jays, recently discussing pitcher Chris Bassitt's unusual habit. During an appearance on Foul Territory, Scherzer revealed that Bassitt, who now plays for the Baltimore Orioles, refrains from wearing shower shoes in the clubhouse.
Scherzer expressed his surprise, noting that Bassitt did wear shower shoes when they were teammates with the New York Mets just a few years prior. Upon noticing this new habit with the Blue Jays, Scherzer and his teammates found it concerning and attempted to incentivize Bassitt to adopt safer practices. Their efforts, however, were unsuccessful in changing Bassitt's behavior last season.
Scherzer, who signed a one-year deal with the Blue Jays, has performed well in his recent starts. His family has also embraced Toronto, with his daughter expressing her desire for him to re-sign. Scherzer himself has grown fond of the franchise, having helped them secure an American League pennant.
