I love that Barry's main argument was that the team stinks so we need to keep Max. Total nonsense. We're his 2nd team, this isn't some homegrown guy like Zimm who has spent 20 years here and only here. I love Max but the reality is we stink and we need to actually accept it for once and sell off anything worth something and actually try to win again. Maybe he goes in with a DC hat, maybe not. Will people just forget he won a World Series here? Why does it matter so much that his ugly statue has a curly W?
The DC media is just so unbelievably soft.
I agree with this completely.
I'm a bit sentimental at times, but Max Scherzer is one of our best assets.
We have a 22-year old hitter likely destined for a Hall of Fame career. He has a limited time under team control. We don't have much in reinforcements in the minors. It would be a cold blooded move to trade Scherzer, but that is one of the few ways where we move closer toward having a legitimate path to rebuilding a winner around Soto.
