Rizzo on what went into trading Scherzer's contract:

I cringed a bit on the comment about finances affecting who we got in return. Helps a bit we got two Top 50 prospects.

Can only hope the tens of millions saved this deadline help the team afford Juan Soto when his contract discussions get into territory not before seen.
