Do we even think Scherzer is worth the prospects it would take to get him? Or better than the pitcher he'd be replacing in the rotation? I personally don't think so.

By my count, the AL has played 115 extra inning games this year, but the NL has only played 65. If we subtract out the number of interleague games (which I can't find), the ratio would be even higher. This seems really strange, especially when you consider that higher scoring should lead to fewer extra inning games, and the AL has scored 215 more runs than the NL.
94chem,

You'd be trading for playoff Scherzer, which I think is worth it. He has the player option for '24, which also makes things tricky.
As things stand, the Rangers don't need Scherzer at what it will most certainly cost, but I'd certainly feel more comfortable rolling him out in the Postseason compared to other options.

I'm with you if the price wasn't so high, and I'm not talking just about giving up prospects. The money is astronomical.
Edit haha got busted watching last nights telecast
A few hours early, but I love the enthusiasm.
Death line up today
Transactions for Saturday:
— Texas Rangers PR (@TXRangersPR) June 24, 2023
-RHP José Leclerc has been placed on the 15-day Injured List, retroactive to 6/21, with a right ankle sprain
-RHP Yerry Rodríguez recalled from Round Rock (AAA)
Yeah, I get that.. I haven't watched him this year, but I would just be worried that the production wouldn't match the cost of acquiring him.
Sure the rotation outside of Eovaldi has had their ups and downs.. but the only one I can see him coming close to replacing is Perez.

I feel bad for Yerry in a way. He's the player who's yo-yo'd up and down, and doesn't really get to pitch or try and figure it out at the MLB level. At least he can collect a few MLB paychecks.
So weird how Semien goes through stretches with zero power. Hanger that he would normally crush and it's just a routine pop up to left. This month has been very similar to last April with him.
God Beasley sucks
Horrible send by Beasley
They blocked the plate. Challenge that, right?
bad send or run thru stop sign????
Wtf Bease??

I guess my thought on Scherzer is... the Player Option for 2024 @ $43M is almost guaranteed.
There are only 3 or 4 teams that would be willing to commit to $43M for a 39 yo Scherzer in 2024.
The Mets will either give him away in terms of prospects with the new team paying most of the money... OR... the Mets will eat the money in order to get better prospects.
Dodgers and Yankees, IMO, would be teams willing to pay the salary in order to give up few prospects.

That would be sad if we can't get to Severino. Guy has a 6.00 era. The offense wasn't good last night either while Dunning was pitching his ass off.
We're in the 2nd inning. Chill
Nice AB by Semien there

Beasley is really bad at his job.
Gray is struggling with command all of the sudden
Whew! Got out of it
Let's light up Severino here. Dude is meat.
No short porch needed for that one
Severino not making many mistakes today.
He's also getting some calls that we're not getting.
I like Grant Anderson
So many lazy flies today
Bats are sleeping
It definitely feels like we have hit the dog days of season.PatriotAg02 said:

I think ump's been pretty even. Will be interesting to see his report card tomorrow.
Of course, if we had a robot, this would not even be a concern.
Semien is just such a pro
