  • Scherzer's age as well as his salary explains the deal to me. Scherzer turns 36 in July and with the increasing uncertainty over whether there will even be baseball in 2020, it's possible two very strong prospects were swapped for an expensive age 37 season of Scherzer (if he's retained for next year). Anyway, that's how I would explain my take on the deal to a newcomer to ottoneu.

  • Agree with Des Moines. Scherzer is very expensive and could start declining any day. And while those prospects may not play this year (I think Brujan has a chance), they are good bets to at least gain value if they stay on an upward trajectory. I might not have pulled the trigger on it, but it doesn't feel like collusion or anything like that.

  • Scherzers salary is what evens this deal out for me. Even at his best there probably isn't much surplus value from him at this salary. He will likely be dropped next season due to his salary. It depends too on how you value prospects, which varies quite a bit among owners. Seems like a fair enough deal, especially without a substantial loan involved.

  • I am new to ottoneu, so I need some guidance: are prospects this valuable? Two guys who likely won't see the majors this year, and will cost $4 to keep next year. I get that Scherzer is maybe injured, but in other formats, this trade is difficult to understand. Do not want to throw bombs, not my intention, just want guidance.

  • Hi all, just claimed Polar Bear Yard Crew. Looks like they missed the auction? Anyway, looking forward to the season.

    Polar Bear Yard Crew on March 9, 2020 8:51 PM

  • Yeah I think 2 sounds about right.

    You in the Future on February 22, 2020 1:29 AM
