Max Scherzer Signs With Nationals

[MUHerd37]

Not good news as a Tigers fan.

[smitch124]

Wow, they really have a hell of a team on paper. Even better than last year when they had the best team on paper. No excuses in 2015. At least the Giants probably won't make the playoffs this year

[Fidel_CashFlow]

• S. Strasburg
• Max Scherzer
• J. Zimmermann
• G. Gonzalez
• D. Fister

they are loaded with starting pitching

[MUHerd37]

Fukkers have taken 2 Tigers pitchers in the last 2 years.

[jjgold]

Bearing any injuries Washington nationals are basically a lock to get to the World Series

[ZetaPsi808]

their offense gets shutdown in the postseason tho every year

[Fidel_CashFlow]

their offense gets shutdown in the postseason tho every year

their offense mayonly have to put up 3 runs a game if the playoff starters go like this ...

Game 1. Strasburg

Game 2 Scherzer

Game 3. Zimmerman

Game 4. Gonzalez

Game 5. Strasburg

Game 6. Scherzer

Game 7. Zimmerman

This.

A bunch of white-trash losers on this team.

[NYSportsGuy210]

Marlins and Jose Fernandez will challenge them as a wild card.

If the Mets were smart enough to get Dee Gordon ( F U Alderson) then they would be the team to challenge them.

the giants shut them down 2 years in a row. a few games in those series the nats scored 1 run. lmao

[smitch124]

7 Years, is this thing $200 million?

[d2bets]

Should be a near-lock for the division but anything beyond that is a crapshoot.

[jjgold]

Why even watch the season?

I don't watch baseball until late September

It has to be the worst professional sport right now to watch

[pinnerpsk]

Nats lost Laroche this offseason. Gonna be a big loss.

NBA has that locked up and has had that locked up for at least a decade.

[Mr KLC]

Zimmerman, or Fister will probably get traded by the trade deadline. Both have one year left on their contracts, and the Nationals will want to get something in return. Scherzer is just insurance for when they lose one, or both of them.

[daneblazer]

They'll be in the Phillies situation in a few years. In the mean time they'll be pretty good

wow. What's wrong with you?

[broadway6]

• S. Strasburg
• Max Scherzer
• J. Zimmermann

Nats are trading zimmerman

[Big Bear]

This.

what the hell is wrong with you?

[Big Bear]

Has the World Series price changed?

still +750 in Vegas?

if its +750 in March when i get out to Vegas i may take the Nationals.

[Big Bear]

Nats are trading zimmerman

for who and why?

I say trade Strasburg before trading Zimmerman. Or hell even trade Gio before trading Zimmerman.

I love Zimmerman he is the most consistent pitcher they have!

nats can't afford all those contracts. Stras and Harper will be getting fat contracts soon. I believe their shortstop will too.

Side note I rather have a younger Zimmerman than pay scherzer

Yeah, but they can probably get a nice haul for Zimmerman.

[broadway6]

100% would love to see the Cards trade for him, but they won't.

[TheLock]

The Mets need way more than Dee Gordon to help their offense.

[No coincidences]

wow. What's wrong with you?

Stras and Harper are choke artists.

Like you said, Zimmerman's better anyway, yet they'll trade him. This is a loser franchise that didn't get better with this acquisition. Should deal SS, but they won't because he's the "star," even though in reality he's a No. 3.

$180 million for a guy with one career complete game. Yeah, good luck with that.

i don't know if you can call them a losing franchise. They just haven't learned how to win in the post season.....but you can say the same about most franchises..

i'm not a huge SS fan myself...i would trade him as well.

Even with that series, he's a .200 career postseason hitter with a .238 slugging %. And overall, his numbers just aren't very good. Overhyped. Harper and Stras both.

[packerd_00]

The offense is still rubbish though,they couldn't get anything done against SF.

i didn't see any team "get anything done" against the giants in the playoffs..

Alot more was expected from the Nationals,the pitching wasn't the problem last year.

[lyon804]

I read the deal is 7 yr 210M 14 yrs paid at 15M. That is a lot of deferred money to be paying a guy later on especially if he breaks down and no ring is won. Imagine paying 15M for 7 yrs after the guy has moved on to other things.

[stealthyburrito]

Basically assures Zimmermann is gone.

They knew he was leaving anyway (wants to go home), perhaps trade him now and get something in return.

2016 he'll be a brewer.
