[DC 86]

Well the good thing a free agent after this year    Good because his last few outings haven’t been good.

Rather a big bat. Bryant of the Cubs ? Also a free agent after this season

Scherzer was pitching with a triceps injury. On Monday he threw a 40-pitch bullpen and reported no discomfort afterwards as he had been experiencing recently every time he threw.

if he actually has a serious arm injury then it's moot point, but if he gets back to his normal level of play the Giants aren't going to be happy to have to face him twice in a playoff series, or to have to face him down the stretch if it's close between SF/LAD/SD.

A high level prospect is not going to be the price for a two-month rental and SF has prospect depth to propose a deal, which they are apparently doing.
