Nationals To Sign Max Scherzer
By Charlie Wilmoth [January 18, 2015 at 11:03pm CST]

The Nationals have agreed to sign top starting pitcher Max Scherzer to a
seven-year deal, CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman tweets. The amount of the deal is
not yet known, but the contract will carry through 2020, which will be
Scherzer’s age-36 season. Scherzer is represented by Scott Boras. On Sunday,
Heyman reported that the Nationals and another team were talking with Boras
about seven-year deals for Scherzer, with the Washington Post’s Adam Kilgore
later reporting that the two sides were close to a deal.

The Nats’ emergence as a top bidder for Scherzer came as somewhat of a
surprise, given the talent already in their rotation (Stephen Strasburg,
Jordan Zimmermann, Gio Gonzalez and Doug Fister). But signing Scherzer should
help the Nationals continue to contend in a weak NL East division beyond next
winter, when Zimmermann, Fister, Ian Desmond and Denard Span all can become
eligible for free agency. The Nationals’ signing of Scherzer also gives them
the option to trade someone like Zimmermann or perhaps Fister within the next
few months, potentially getting good value for one of their free-agents-to-be
while maintaining a formidable rotation. The Washington Post’s Barry Svrluga
tweets, though, that the Nationals won’t necessarily have to trade anyone to
make room for Scherzer.

MLBTR’s Tim Dierkes rated Scherzer the top available free agent this winter,
although actual news about Scherzer had been slow in coming before this
weekend, as he and another top starting pitcher, James Shields, lingered on
the market long after everyone else in the top ten had signed. Boras and
Scherzer had reportedly been seeking a $200MM contract.

Nationals GM Mike Rizzo drafted Scherzer in the first round in 2006 while
Rizzo was vice president of scouting for the Diamondbacks. Scherzer quickly
emerged as a solid starting pitcher, making the Majors less than two years
after being drafted. After two seasons in Arizona, he headed to Detroit and
developed into an elite starting pitcher, posting three good seasons in his
mid-20s before winning his first Cy Young award in 2013. He had a strong
repeat season in 2014, throwing 220 1/3 innings with a 3.15 ERA, 10.3 K/9 and
2.6 BB/9.

Even without Scherzer, the Nationals already appeared to be easily the best
team in the NL East — they won the division by 17 games last year, and the
only other team in the division that has decisively improved its roster for
2015 is the Marlins. The addition of Scherzer strengthens the Nationals’
 status as NL East favorites.

Scherzer’s departure leaves the win-now Tigers without their top starting
pitcher, although they still have David Price, Anibal Sanchez, Justin
Verlander, and the newly acquired Alfredo Simon and Shane Greene. Price and
Simon are eligible for free agency next winter.
