Washington Nationals news & notes: Davey Martinez on Max Scherzer before/after; on the bullpen’s workload + more ...

Before Max Scherzer left last night’s game with an apparent injury (groin tweak), there was an uptick in chatter about what the future holds of the three-time Cy Young award-winner.

MLB Network analyst Jon Morosi reported earlier this week that his sources were telling him the Washington Nationals, “aren’t ready to listen to offers on Max Scherzer yet ... but they’re last in the NL East and their mindset could change in the weeks ahead,” and the rumor mill with Scherzer is only going to pick up momentum if the Nationals continue to struggle over the next few weeks, provided he returns from what was diagnosed as a mild tweak of his groin.
