Cardinals fans: Thoughts on Max Scherzer

Maybe when his price tag comes down and isn't attached to a draft pick.

It isn't happening anytime soon.

To much $ and goes against everything the Cardinals preach re payroll.

I'm more worried about the number of years he wants than the $$$. The club knows how much $$$$ they have. What they don't know is if Scherzer will stay healthy long term.

Remember when we would day dream about Mark Buehrle this way? Doubt Scherzer will ever be a cardinal. I think after david freese they realize a hometown guy is presented with too many distractions.

I hear ya. That's why my only concern is the number of years. Pitchers are going to go down. Big numbers for a shorter number of years isn't going to cripple you if Scherzer goes down. But if you sign him for 7 years and he goes down in year 2, then those big numbers might become a big factor in that they prevent you from getting someone else. No problem with the big money, just shorten the years.

Not gonna happen.

And not sure he'll age well anyway.

Good luck to whoever signs him for all that money.

Can't believe Mark Buerhle has never been a Card after being open about playing here at a discount. Guess it was never the right time for that to happen.
