Some days, you get rained out. Other days, you get rained out again. And other days, you see one of the most gutsy and jaw-dropping pitching performances of the season.
Here’s the news from Nats Park:
Max Scherzer’s Trade Value (Fangraphs)
Say there were teams interested in Scherzer, and say a win is worth about $9 million. If that's the case, Scherzer, who's projected for another 14.6 wins during the rest of his contract, should bring in two top-100 prospects, one towards the top and one towards the bottom of the list. But then consider that the Nats expect to contend at least through this year and next year, which raises the value they would need to get in return, the Nats would need essentially two top-20 prospects.
