How long do we think Scherzer will be effective for? If we don't think at least 2023, let's move him.
I'm in the unfortunate camp that the 2022 season will be a labor apocalypse and that we shouldn't make any moves that don't have an eye toward 2023. If the Nats are scuffling and not serious playoff contenders at deadline, I'm ready to move anything that isn't bolted down. I'm not certain we could grab a Top 100 prospect for any pitcher in his contract year, but if he is dealing then some team who thinks they're window is open will go hard for a pitcher who can win in the postseason.
