With the Los Angeles Dodgers canvassing the market for starting pitching over recent weeks, their focus the past few days leading up to the MLB trade deadline has seemingly centered around José Berríos and Max Scherzer.
Of course, the Dodgers have hardly been the only team in search of starting pitching. That’s held particularly true in the National League West, with the San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants linked to the same options as the Dodgers.
That’s seemingly come to a head with the Padres being on the verge of securing the prize of the deadline by trading for Scherzer.
