yes but my point is that holding out for a long time doesn't always pay off

Very few hold out past the season's start date and of those how many are as good as Scherzer? So he'll sign..within 2 weeks I say.

 

[Rebbiv]

It isn't just Scherzer, it is also Shields going unsigned.

Max had his chance when the Tigers' offered him $144 Mil. He blew it and the Tigers should just move on without him. If they do sign him, it needs to be for less than $144 Mil or else they will be the ones that blew it.

 

[tomdalton22]

I don't see any scenario where Scherzer signs for any less than $25M per year....of course stranger things have happened!

 

[motownwebguy]

From what I'm hearing with teams with available money its the Yankees and us..But of course old man Ilitch will listen to Boras and a deal will get done..

Not!....:argh:

I like Max a lot, but don't want him on a 7yr deal. At least if he goes to the Nats, he will be out of the AL.

 

[Mitchrapp]

He could dominate in the NL. Lots of money though..

 

[kingofdetroit57]

Tony Paul still thinks we are the "mystery team" and is speculating 7yrs @ $170mil or more.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Him, JV, and Miggy are going to old farts in a few years. Philly 2.0.

On the one hand, I despise Paul and think he's a fucking terrible hack. On the other hand, he also has decent sources, so now I'm scared we might sign him.

"Per a source, Max Scherzer to the Nats is "very close." Not finished yet."

If they sign him, I'd gladly take Zimmermann off their hands. He'd be an ace on a lot of staffs. Probably don't have enough to get him though.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Zimmerman is pretty good..I'll take him.

Sadly without a WS title :/

 

[biggunsbob]

I am still waiting for the players to be named later in the Fister deal DD :/

Nat's will have one hell of a rotation if its true...

 

[Mitchrapp]

Pro sports daily says it's done, Nats.
