I understand that Scherzer is still one of the best pitchers in the game, but at what point does his contract impact his value? He signed a deferred contract meaning that whoever acquires him would have to pay him $15 million for 12 more years after this one. That's a lot of dough for a team not named the Yankees, Red Sox, or Dodgers.
You'd rather pay someone $15 mill a year for 14 years than $30 mill for 7 years.
