Despite only being 59 games into the season, Max Scherzer has already become the subject of numerous trade rumors. This is nothing new, but to Nationals fans, having your team’s ace constantly engaged in trade rumors gets old fast.
Dating back to 2019, Scherzer has been floated by the media as a top trade target, but Mike Rizzo and company have scoffed at the idea.
