Following the 2014 season, Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Max Scherzer became a free agent, and more than a few St. Louis Cardinals fans dreamed that the Chesterfield, Missouri native, who later played at the collegiate level for the University of Missouri Tigers, would come to St. Louis. As it turned out, Scherzer signed with the Washington Nationals to a seven-year, $210 million contract and spent the first three years of his time in DC being worth every penny. By FanGraphs’s measure, Scherzer has been worth $144.1 million so far.
The Cardinals should just sign Yu Darvish already
