Outside Max Scherzer or some unknown blockbuster dark horse, I don’t see a name for the Houston Astros to go after outside of Scherzer that would make a significant improvement on the rotation.
With the lack of needle-movers on the market, let’s turn our pining eyes back to the belle of the ball, Scherzer. I am sharing what you likely already know at this point. Scherzer is a 37 year old former three-time Cy Young Award winning right-handed starting pitcher for the Washington Nationals.
These are the 8 teams known to be in on Max Scherzer, via multiple sources:
Dodgers
Giants
Padres
Red Sox
Rays
Blue Jays
Astros
MetsAlso heard Yankees checked in & were told he was unlikely to OK a trade there.
