Last winter, there was a steady stream of pitching aces who made their way to the National League West. The Dodgers grabbed Trevor Bauer as the winter’s biggest free-agent prize, while the Padres scooped Yu Darvish and Blake Snell via trade. The pitching migration west appears destined to continue with Max Scherzer rumored to be on the move before Friday’s trade deadline.
Sources: Max Scherzer trade talks have continued to intensify, and those close to the conversations believe a deal could be reached by late tonight. The Giants, Dodgers, and Padres are among the top suitors, but other clubs are involved.
