I want to preface this article by acknowledging that as it stands, it appears unlikely for a Max Scherzer trade to materialize for the Blue Jays. The Washington Nationals are still very much in postseason contention and furthermore, according to Scherzer’s agent Scott Boras, the veteran ace would not waive his no-trade clause without an extension.
So, why does this article exist then? Firstly, the situation surrounding teams can change in a heartbeat and it’s exciting to explore future trade possibilities.
