What It Means:

After pitching 42 games for New York, Scherzer will head to Texas in exchange for prospect Luisangel Acuna after he agreed to waive his no-trade clause to play for a contending team.

Expect the veteran to immediately hold down the front of the Rangers' rotation after he accounted for a 4.09 expected Fielding Independent Pitching rating and a 27.3% K-rate in 107.2 innings this season.
