  1. The deal to make is for Dylan Cease. Yes it's another rental but won't cost as much for the same reason and still in his prime. Then next year you have Bradish and a more experienced Rodriguez and you add arms where needed.

  2. Imo at this point it’s make a trade or bust. Burnes at 245 mil is an overpay. I’d love to see him back but if you can get Cease for a decent package, or to a lesser extent Castillo and then go get some help for the bullpen I will gladly take it.

  3. I would like the idea of signing Scherzer only if we trade for Castillo, Cease, or Miller. Scherzer could provide a veteran presence to a young team. He’s also won two World Series.

  4. This is an awful idea. Scherzer was actively bad with the Rangers last year at 40 years old. Add to that he’s not needed assuming we add another actually good starter.

  5. I love Mad Max as much as anyone but I thought he was pretty much near the end when Nats won it all in 2019. He's done, move on to someone else because he's not gonna get healthy miraculously. What they SHOULD have done was offer Walker Buehler a 2-year deal!

  6. I like Scherzer. But if the O's get to the point of signing him, then they might as well bring in Verlander and Kershaw as well, run a six man rotation, and pray only one gets hurt, one is cut bait, and one has one more amazing year left.

  7. Max or Justin Verlander would help all the young players. I would like to see a trade for Castillo instead of Cease. He is making $20 plus million and is locked in for three years instead of trading for a rental.

  10. Are you kidding me? 5 years ago yes…Scherzer won't make it through the season…Why are we basement shoppers again…Boston and New York are making deals???WTF
