Trade deadline thread

Considering Scherzer's age, contract, and the fact that he's starting to show signs of decline, I have no idea why Texas gave up that much.

Yeah, i'm not sure why it cost that much to get Scherzer. He's had some good games, but i didnt think it would cost a player like that to get him. JV might get more if he's dealt.
 
Cardinals announce they aren’t trading Arenado.

So ****ing dumb.

He's owed over 100M, he's on the wrong end of 30, and odds are the cardinals aren't gonna be amazing any time soon. Sure Arenado may be one of the best in the game. But unless you expect to compete next year, trade him and get as much of a haul as possible.
 
Scherzer exercised his 24 option, so he'll be with Texas for this year and next. Per Passan.
 
Rangers are going to feel silly next year when deGrom and Scherzer are on the shelf and Houston is running circles around them and Seattle is back ahead of them.
 
I like this move for the Mets just fine, but if they plan on competing next season, they’ll need to sign a starting pitcher and Scherzer on a one year contract would have been a fantastic option.
