Right-hander Max Scherzer will make his 189th regular season start for the Washington Nationals when they visit the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.
There is a chance it could be his last.
Following Friday night s 6-1 loss to the Orioles, the Nationals are seven games behind the first-place Metsin the National League East and 11 games out of the wild card with six games remaining before the July 30 trade deadline.
Scherzer, completing a seven-year contract, can veto a trade as a 10-year veteran who has spent at least five seasons with his current team. His agent recently told NBC Sports Chicago that the ace will do so unless he receives a contract extension. Washington general manager Mike Rizzo likely won t decide whether Washington is a buyer or seller until a few days before the deadline.
