Games 101/102: **Scherzer & Turner** Traded After Split in Philly
The Nationals split their doubleheader in Philadelphia, but the main news postgame was the blockbuster trade that sent Max Scherzer & Trea Turner to the Dodgers. Mark & Al analyze the mega move by Washington and assess what they think of the move. Why was Turner dealt instead of locking him up to a long-term contract? Did they get enough in return from LA?
(12:15) Kiebert Ruiz (catcher) and Josiah Gray (pitcher) are the top rated prospects in the Dodgers system. When will they be contributing at the big league level?
(25:24) The Nats won Game 1 of the doubleheader 3-1 in Scherzer's final start for the franchise. As fitting as the victory was, Al wonders why the team put Max on the mound while he was on the trade block. Mark explains what might have led to the initial report on Thursday afternoon that the Padres were Scherzer's likely landing spot, not LA.
(35:38) Washington coughed up a 7-0 lead in Game 2 of the doubleheader, missing a major opportunity to sneakily have an outside chance in the division. The bullpen had its worst game yet, as they collapsed in their first day without Brad Hand. Mark puts in perspective how this loss was a microcosm of the entire season.
(43:36) Tim updates the trades that were made after taping of Kyle Schwarber to Boston & Daniel Hudson to the Padres.
