Max Scherzer's Potential Trade to Rangers on Hold; Cubs May Keep Marcus Stroman

The New York Mets and Texas Rangers have reached a deal to trade Max Scherzer, with the Mets receiving shortstop prospect Luisangel Acuña in return. There are rumors of the Los Angeles Dodgers pursuing a trade for Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado, although Arenado has not been asked to waive his no-trade clause. The Chicago Cubs' recent winning streak has made them reconsider selling, potentially taking players like Marcus Stroman and Cody Bellinger off the trade block. The Baltimore Orioles and Miami Marlins are interested in Tigers pitcher Michael Lorenzen, while the St. Louis Cardinals have made reliever Jordan Hicks available for trade. The Dodgers are still active in the trade market and may be eyeing Mets outfielders Mark Canha and Tommy Pham.
