I periodically write free agent spotlights, and sometimes I’ll make a point to write about someone who I fear may get signed soon so that I can still write about that player. Well, this year I’m not sure that fear will emerge. I think the free agent market will be slow to materialize and I suspect I’ll have all the time in the world to write about whatever free agent I please.
It should be obvious why I’m addressing Max Scherzer first, Cardinals fans favorite player who never was a Cardinal. He’s a hometown kid, always a good start for a potential fan favorite, and more importantly, he’s one of the best pitchers in baseball.
