Trade: [LAD/WSH] Max Scherzer, Trea Turner for Keibert Ruiz, Josiah Gray, Gerardo Carrillo, Donovan Casey

[Quid Pro Clowe]

improving the worst farm system in baseball

Thought they could haul in more than that.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I am all for it. I love both players but we cannot get attached. The team is in dire need of a better farm system.

Trading them is fine, it's just for what.

Wait, I’m confused. How does trading for a 37-year old Scherzer and a 28-year old Turner improve the Dodger farm system?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

who knows how true this is but the apparent package according to twitter (not confirmed) is
C Keibert Ruiz-number 1 prospect
RHP Josiah Gray-number 2 prospect
3B Kody Hoese-number 4 prospect
SS/2B Jacob Amaya-number 10 prospect

Ho-hum "prospect haul" for top players!! Stop the trade!!!

Hoese could be really good. 1st rounder.

The Nationals desperate need youth.

The problem is the return isn't good enough.

 

[shao01]

You need more than that to make up for the loss of someone like Turner; I dont't like the move for the Nationals

 

[Vamos Rafa]

The Dodgers desperate need youth.

Not necessarily. Their stars are still young and Scherzer is still an elite pitcher despite being 37.

The Nationals are one of the oldest teams in baseball.

you wrote dodgers

 

[shao01]

Natonals need a couple mores 1st rounders to make this a fair trade for them

 

[N o o d l e s]

Why even include Casey, I mean seriously. You trade Scherzer and Turner and 1/4 of the return is a 25 year old minor leaguer???

 

[hockeykicker]

so dodgers pay the deferrals for next 7 years

 

[missingmika]

The Nats just got a new farm team with the Fredericksburg Nats. They started out their franchise going 0-15, They’re a bit depleted depth wise.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

you wrote dodgers

Lol

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Your move Dodgers.

Well they certainly made their move

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Okay, so how did this happen? The trade to the Padres was a done deal and this happened?

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

That's going to be awkward in D.C. when all the yuppies who jumped on the bandwagon the last few years can go back to watching a 50 win team.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Okay, so how did this happen? The trade to the Padres was a done deal and this happened?

It was "done" but never finalized. It apparently went as far as the Nationals and Padres agreeing on which players were going which way and then i assume the Dodgers stepped in at the last moment and turned it into a bidding war...then somehow getting Turner out of it.

 

[These Are The Days]

Yeah...you are not going to gain any sympathy after seeing the Buccaneers and Lighting win championships in 2021.

And the Rays are shopping at Costco despite having the best farm system in baseball and having made the World Series last year. It's not a matter of sympathy it's a matter of us learning to stop being chicken shits at the deadline. Get serious already.

Likely he didn’t approve going to SD

Rays can't afford him. Check how much money Scherzer is owed.

 

[DougieSmash]

Turner is really good. Mistake from Nats.

 

[SimpleJack]

Dodgers just 100% guaranteed a repeat. Nobody else stands a chance now. Kinda lame tbh. Sucks watching when you know the eventual outcome.

Didn’t u guys literally just add Nelson Cruz?

MVP candidate.
