Could Max Scherzer be the next Justin Verlander?
No, we’re not talking about their careers; both pitchers have already established themselves as future Hall of Famers, picking up multiple Cy Youngs and a World Series ring apiece.
But just as the Astros’ 2017 trade for Verlander will long be remembered as one of the best in-season acquisitions in baseball history, might Scherzer have a similar impact a few months from now?
Nobody is counting the Nationals out after 16 games, especially not in a National League East separated by only a few games from top to bottom. But Washington’s injury woes Juan Soto and Stephen Strasburg are both on the injured list and underperforming rotation have some wondering if the Nationals would look to deal Scherzer this summer if the season went awry.
