Well if they plan on trading Zimmerman I think the rotation is basically the same unless they getting something good in return. I don't think Max is much better then Zimmerman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Why are the Nationals so antsy to trade a SP? That rotation would be the best in baseball without question. Strasburg Scherzer Zimmerman Fisher Gio Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rotation would be the best in baseball without question. Strasburg Scherzer Zimmerman Fisher Gio Wow. Because they also have University of Illinois product Tanner Roark, who is only 28, who was 15-10 with a 2.81 ERA last year. They could get quite a bit for Zimmermann since he only has one year left to replenish that farm system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rotation would be the best in baseball without question. Strasburg Scherzer Zimmerman Fisher Gio Wow. Because they have Roark to find a spot for, and Zimmermann only had 1 year left and is somewhat expensive. If they are going to move him though, it better be to improve their major league team, because they are CLEARLY the best team in the NL right now. May as well shift around your talent rather than downgrade and improve your farm system. I would hope they'd trade Zimmermann for a 2B or some bullpen help.

Brian Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 That thud was the Tigers World Series odds dropping. Losing both Porcello and Scherzer. I know Price is still there but that obviously didn't work out last year and Justin got Upton'd. (jealous) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 MONDAY 10:40am: Scherzer will receive $210MM for seven years of work, but the contract has a very unusual structure, with Scherzer receiving $15MM per season for the next 14 years, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweets. That means the Nationals will be paying Scherzer through 2028. Also, Yahoo! Sports’ Jeff Passan tweets that the deal includes a $50MM signing bonus that will be paid out “over a portion of time” for tax reasons. That bonus would, presumably, be included in the $210MM total.

Kyyle23 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 well, thats one way to do a contract. Very Bobby Bonilla-esque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Scratch that, make that $66 million more than the Tigers offered. Anyone still think we should have gone after Max? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
