I know it does not make sense, but I keep wondering if Rizzo can resist the dream of Upton/Harper. It would put a $21-million Werth on the bench for two years. Scherzer did not make sense to me either, so who knows.
I don't think Rizzo will be real excited at the thought of going into 2016 with an OF of Harper, Taylor, and Werth with virtually no backup, so it stands to reason he'll go after another OF and use Taylor as a 4th OF.
