If the Texas Rangers choose to sell the at the MLB trade deadline, Max Scherzer might be the prized option.
The Rangers are still four games under .500 entering Tuesday's matchup against Milwaukee and remain 6.5 games out of first place despiteWith June winding down, it's still too early to determine if Texas will wave the white flag and become sellers at the July 31 trade deadline, but a player like Scherzer could net the defending World Series champs a profitable return.
The defending World Series champions have a number of starting pitchers on expiring contracts who could be moved should they decide to sell this year and retool for 2025. That includes Scherzer, who is set to make his season debut Sunday after missing time while recovering from offseason back surgery and a separate nerve issue in his throwing arm.
Last season, Scherzer posted a 3.20 ERA in eight starts with Texas. He also finished with a 3.53 strikeout-to-walk ratio and served as the No. 3 starter with Nathan Eovaldi and Jordan Montgomery serving as the top 1-2 combination in the postseason. Right now, Texas can stand pat and ponder what's next. If the team gets healthier, perhaps the Rangers actually switch gears and exit the All-Star break with a buyer mentality. It's still too early to lean one way despite a rocky beginning.
Scherzer could up his value on the market, however, with a promising start in likely the Baltimore series starting on Thursday, though the Rangers have yet to announce their starters.Cole Thompson is a sports writer and columnist covering the NFL and college sports for SI's Fan Nation.
