Welcome to the Angels Max.

Nationals already have one of the best rotations in baseball. I'm guessing if they sign Scherzer then they'd let Zimmermann walk next year? Either way, I can't see them signing Scherzer.

[SoWhat]

I figured Scherzer would sign with the Nats. I wouldn't be surprised if Zimmerman is dealt to STL.

Scherzer turns 31 this July. Let someone else pay for seven years.

[Ochocinco!]

Lolz

@jonmorosi: Yes, #Nats are willing to trade Stephen Strasburg if they don't get acceptable offer for Zimmermann (in event they land Scherzer).

Edit: Doyyers aren't the other team either, apparently.

Sounds like WAS has him signed now.

Where did you see that? I'm looking at Twitter and don't see anything...

Remember who Scherzer's agent is. There is no "other club".

It's the old bid against yourself move.

@Alden_Gonzalez: In case you’re wondering, #Angels are not the #MysteryTeam on Scherzer.

[JAHV76]

Detroit could resign him.

Angels are definitely the mystery team.  A mystery team never reveals they are the mystery team.

[Stradling]

Angels are definitely the mystery team. A mystery team never reveals they are the mystery team.

Using that logic the Yankees, Red Sox, Astros and Tigers are definitely the mystery team.

[Ohtaniland]

If Arte has dinner with him, we're doomed!

[Inside Pitch]

It's Oakland.

Seriously though how would anyone know a certain team isnt the mystery team, if it is in fact called the mystery team?

These reporters want attention, hits, followers, etc.

The Nats will have the best rotation with Max. That usually guarantees a world series. Congrats to the Nats.

Because those teams specifically said they have no interest in pursuing Scherzer.

[Ohtaniland]

The mystery team is the Montreal Expos. 

[Hollyw00d]

Seattle

Pilots

[Ohtaniland]

Detroit should've been able to just post him like they do in Japan.

And it's a done deal. Scherzer to the Nats.
