As a Nats fan I’m sitting here waiting for that Padres/Scherzer deal to get finalized if it ever does. Going to be heartbreaking to see him in another jersey but I hope to see him win another ring.

The report right now is that he wants to go to the NL West. He wants to win a title and being in the NL will boost his value as a free agent because of those ballparks.

Yankees need some pitching, he would be amazing in pinstripes. Guess they'll just be brown instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankees need some pitching, he would be amazing in pinstripes. Guess they'll just be brown instead. He has a say, too, because of the 10-5 rule (10 years of service in the league, 5 straight with one tram gives him a no-trade clause). I do think if the Nats told him the Yankees gave him the best deal he wouldn’t screw the Nats. He’s one of the top three or four best pitchers of this generation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-90 W Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 Yankees lineup is much more balanced now with the additions of Gallo and Rizzo. Cashman is a genius; picked up both with just prospects and both teams are retaining the salary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such is sports biz. Some good news out of the Texas Rangers though: Catcher Jonah Heim from Buffalo set a Rangers record by hitting walk-off home runs in consecutive games. I think this guy might be a start in the making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 As someone who roots for the Nationals and Blue Jays (both thanks mostly to Vladimir Guerrero, ironically - Blue Jays being a more recent thing) it was a rough deadline. From a Blue Jays perspective: what in the ***** is this team doing giving up Austin Martin in a Berrios trade? Was Martin expendable? Sure, sort of. They've got plenty of infielders who are young in the system in front of him but he's also already started working out at center. He is a very good prospect and I'll be surprised if he's not a good MLB player. I like Berrios. He's good and he is under control BUT he's nothing more than a 3 or AT BEST a 2 in your rotation. If he's your 2 you're probably not contending in today's league. From the Nats: that Scherzer/Turner trade ... YIKES. The return they got should have been in exchange for Turner alone. He's one of the top five shortstops in the entire game and is under control for another season. He's having his best offensive season to date ... and that's what you get WITH the best starter on the market attached to him? I'm not a big believer in either of the top prospects they got in exchange either. Then they flip the rest of their expiring guys (except Zimmerman who was never going to play elsewhere) for a bunch of nothing. They got nobody prospects.
