Per Heyman’s article:
“…they’ve [the Mets] been trying for Padres rental ace Dylan Cease (and presumably would also consider rotation mate Michael King).
The Cubs also are involved. But while their prospect list is ranked higher, with highly regarded 3B prospect Matt Shaw understandably off limits in rental deals, the Padres may prefer the Mets’ list, including Brandon Sproat, Jett Williams and Luisangel Acuña”
Look at what the orioles gave up for burnes(better resume)and preller asking for top prospects for a one year rental

I think King is a prime candidate for a Lindor trade and extension. Cease is a Boras guy so he's hitting free agency

You giving up your best prospects for either pitcher who will be fa’s next winter? That’s my whole point , the orioles gave up a mid package for a former cy young winner

Preller asking for top 50 prospects

Max Scherzer is a big name but he was mediocre last season and it's hard to put a lot of faith in him in 2025.

He really should retire. The only real numbers he can probably eclipse this season is 3500K's and maybe 225 Wins. Which aren't bad for book ends if you ask me.

Same with Verlander a solid shot to get the 3500K's milestone, but he'd need a pretty strong year to get to 275 Wins.
