Follow usTexas Rangers are giving their team a much needed boost, signing Max Scherzer.
The AL West leaders acquired the three-time Cy Young Award winner from the New York Mets in a blockbuster trade on Sunday just hours after they announced Nathan Eovaldi will be on the 15-day injured list with a strained right forearm.
News of the agreement broke Saturday night while the Rangers were losing for the sixth time in eight games, trimming their lead over second-place Houston to one game.
