Max starting the early game per Davey

Even if it's Max's last hurrah, that's great. Let Max tip his cap to Joe Girardi.

[Slateman]

Got to catch that 8 o'clock flight to California

Finishes the noon game at 2, catches then 3:30 Philly to LA flight, get to the Dodgers in time to get the save

[Slateman]

Hudson on the IL. Probably hurts the chances of trading him

[hotshot]

A bit of a risk; hope Max has a good showcase today. No Philly HRs pls.

[Ghiroli] Scouts from more than a half-dozen teams are in Philly to watch Max Scherzer throw, which should help allay concerns of his overall health before a trade

[Kevrock]

Why would they throw him? Sit him and trade him.

[zimm_da_kid]

Why would they throw him? Sit him and trade him.

To prove he’s healthy?  Idk.  To stick it to the Phillies?  Both good reasons in my book (unless he gets hurt, but if they’re throwing him they must be confident in his health)

Dougherty says the deal is done. Hand to the Blue Jays. Tanner Rainey is your new closer everyone.

I think they probably thought they got Hudson.

74 strikeouts today and he reaches 3,000

Nationals get Catcher Riley Adams for Hand.

Teams can trade players on the COVID IL, so no issues there.  The problem is, can Hudson get a few negative tests today and tomorrow to make a deal more solid?

You may have saw an incorrect stat. He is OPSing over .850 in AAA right now.

Time for the Nationals to go find some OF prospects.

[zimm_da_kid]

Today is an audition for Gomes.  Not enough playing time for Barrera and adams at aaa

Flip Gomes for sure. He is having a strong year. You can win with an experienced backstop who has a good glove and ha san OPS safely above .700.

The way this week is going he’s going to blow two shoulders and a knee out on the second pitch. Trade him now.

[zimm_da_kid]

Gomes proving he’s healthy and boosting that value

[imref]

Joel Sherman:

Growing belief is that Kyle Schwarber gets traded as early as today. Hear that #Yankees are interested. Schwarber currently on the IL with a hamstring injury. #RedSox, #BlueJays also believed interested.

[ZimW1N]

Gomes proving he’s healthy and boosting that value

I'd imagine that if someone trades for Gomes its w/ Scherzer.

Never mind! Time for GOAT prospects!

[Smithian]

Schwarber was a hell of a buy low signing if they get anything decent out of him.
