The Rangers and Mets have reportedly finalized a blockbuster trade that will see veteran starting pitcher Max Scherzer head to Texas, according to a report Jeff Passan of ESPN.
In exchange for Scherzer, Rangers infield prospect Luisangel Acuña—younger brother of Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr.—will be dealt to New York, according to MLB insider Jon Heyman. Acuña, 21, is ranked as the No. 3 prospect in Texas’s system and MLB Pipeline’s No. 44 prospect.
Heyman reported earlier that the teams had come to terms on an agreement, but the deal would require Scherzer to approve a trade to the Rangers.
