Max Scherzer's last few seasons has been cut short/shortend due to injuries. Especially in his time with the Rangers last year. Sherzer was traded from the Mets in the middle of the season.

Max Scherzer pitched in just eight games last year with the Texas Rangers. In those eight games, he posted a 4-2 record, 3.20 ERA, 53 SO, and a 0.96 WHIP. Max Scherzer also pitched just three games throughout the playoffs.

The Rangers badly need pitching help. As it stands, it doesn't look good. They have a lot of key pieces who will begin the season on the IL. The Rangers need to make moves to acquire pitching, that needs to be their main priority the rest of the offseason.
