The New York Mets have reached a deal to send eight-time All-Star Max Scherzer to the Texas Rangers if the veteran pitcher agrees to waive his no-trade clause, according to multiple reports. Scherzer and the players the Mets would receive in exchange would also have to pass physicals before a trade is finalized. The Rangers are in first place in the AL West and hold the third-best record in the American League. The addition of Scherzer would provide much-needed depth to the rotation and would give the Rangers an experienced veteran down the stretch. Scherzer said he was disappointed the Mets decided to trade closer David Robertson to the Marlins in exchange for two young prospects.
