The Texas Rangers acquired three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer in a blockbuster trade with the New York Mets, an all-in move for the surprise AL West leaders.
“It’s great. We’re pumped about it. We’re getting an experienced guy with a tremendous resume,” Bochy said in San Diego before the Rangers played the Padres. “Obviously, Max’s pedigree is a future Hall of Fame pitcher and the winner that he is is a perfect fit for what we need right now. You can never have enough starting pitching and to add someone of Max’s caliber is a great addition to our club,” Rangers general manager Chris Young said. “We landed the player we feel like is going to help us get where we want to go this year.”
Texas has emerged from six consecutive losing seasons to lead the AL West all but one day in Bochy’s first season in charge. Bochy won three World Series championships from 2010-14 as manager of the San Francisco Giants. The Rangers added deGrom in the offseason on a $185 million, five-year contract, knowing there was risk in signing the oft-injured right-hander.
