The Los Angeles Dodgers stunned the baseball industry Thursday night by agreeing to acquire future Hall of Fame pitcher Max Scherzer and All-Star shortstop Trea Turner from the Washington Nationals in a blockbuster trade involving the two most recent World Series champions.
A baseball official with direct knowledge of the negotiations confirmed the trade has been agreed upon pending a review of medical records. The officials spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because the deal has not yet been finalized.
The six-player deal exemplified the disparate paths taken by two of the game s recent superpowers – the Dodgers, ever reluctant to part with prized prospects, suddenly dealt catcher Keibert Ruiz, pitcher Josiah Gray and two other minor leaguers to the Nationals in an effort to erase a three-game deficit in the National League West and defend their title.
