Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer is open to being traded before the July 30 MLB trade deadline, per Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post, though he may still exercise his 10-5 rights to veto any potential trade offers to influence his destination.
Players receive 10-5 rights when they have 10 years of MLB service time, with the last five of them coming with their current team. Those rights allow veteran players the option to veto any trade. So for Scherzer to be dealt, he would have to waive his 10-5 rights.
In essence, Scherzer is reportedly open to being traded, but he'll have the final say on where he ends up.
