lol enjoy him

I guess they are more than likely going to trade Zimmermann in order to make room for Max. Which makes signing him not even worth it IMO.

I heard Strasburg

I heard Strasburg

wat

 

[RipCity32]

They said they would listen to offers for him, but more than likely Zimmermann. 

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Yea they will probably value Stras higher than Zimmerman. 
 
I'd rather just overpay Zimmerman than get Scherzer. 

 

[Pugz]

he signed

 

[snipezo]

Their rotation will be deadly.

Have fun with that contract, though.

and a $50M signing bonus

 

[Teagz]

Still not worth it

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Definitely not worth it. 
 
If you're the Nats why would you prefer him over Zimmermann & Strasburg?!?!

 

[RipCity32]

Unreal that he got that much. Props to him for holding out. Knew what he was doing.

He can thank Boras for that

 

[footballplaya52]

doesn't even make sense for the nats to do that.

Interesting comment from Curt Schilling this morning on Mike and Mike. Says Scherzer is now the closest thing the Nats have to a #1, because he's the only pitcher that will start 35 games and through 250 innings. Not sure I agree with him at all there...

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Curt Schilling is the most well spoken retard I've ever seen

 

[Giantmetfan07]

He's also never thrown more than 220 innings
