Dodgers Acquire Max Scherzer and Trea Turner!

The Dodgers have made a huge splash in the trade market: they have acquired Max Scherzer and Trea Turner from the Washington Nationals for a load of prospects. This is exactly the trade that we needed. Scherzer, who will eventually be a Hall of Famer, is still an excellent and durable starter; and Turner is an outstanding infielder (who is also rather underrated, in my view, even amidst the wide recognition of his excellence), and I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually also makes the Hall of Fame. Just before then, the Dodgers also acquired pitcher Danny Duffy from the Royals.

Note: I didn't post this yesterday because I wanted to wait until the deal with the Nationals was done, rather than being something that the Dodgers were "finalizing".
