The New York Mets have made another stunning trade, this time sending Max Scherzer to the Texas Rangers. The Mets, who are currently seven games out of a wild-card spot with a 49-55 record, have decided to sell and leverage owner Steve Cohen’s wealth. They ate more than $35 million of Scherzer’s contract to acquire one of the game’s top prospects, Luisangel Acuña. The Mets are now expected to listen to offers for other players like Mark Canha, Tommy Pham, and Justin Verlander. By trading Scherzer, the Mets not only save money but also improve their farm system. The Orioles, Astros, Reds, Dodgers, and Rays are the top contenders to acquire Verlander. The Orioles lack an ace and have a surplus of young infielders. The Astros could use another veteran starter for depth. The Reds need a starting pitcher and have a loaded farm system. The Dodgers could benefit from adding another starter due to injuries and workload concerns. The Rays, who have been using a bullpen game every fifth day, need to add a starter and have the prospects and financial flexibility to acquire Verlander. CBSSports.com reported
