Should Tampa Bay Rays consider acquiring Max Scherzer?
WTSP Sports Director Evan Closky joins the Locked On Rays podcast to discuss a bumpy week for Rays baseball. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.  Well, this is a week we would like to forget. After leaving his start early in Chicago, we learned Tuesday Tyler Glasnow has a partially torn ligament in his elbow. Kevin Cash came out on Friday saying he was encouraged by the latest news from doctors. The star pitcher will not pick up a baseball for a month, but they're hoping the injury is more around the bone than the ligament. Kevin Cash providing an update on Tyler Glasnow tonight. "He's got a long way to go, but I was encouraged by (the update).

The man not only spoke with the media on Monday after leaving the game but then was back at it on Tuesday sounding off against Major League Baseball. His issue pertains to a midseason change versus allowing the players to finish the year and then make changes during the offseason when pitchers can adjust. Must-listen: Tyler Glasnow's rant on MLB's crackdown on foreign substances. "I 100% believe that contributed to me getting hurt." He's used the sunscreen/rosin mix, then went "cold turkey" last week against the Nats. 11Ks. But woke up sore. "I felt completely different." On one hand, there is reality. The Rays never trade any prospect for rentals. On the other hand, there is opportunity. If management believes Tampa Bay can win a world series (something we all believe), then it would behoove Erik Neander and company to bring in a Hall of Fame pitcher to help get it done. Scherzer is a free agent after the season. The price tag will not be astronomical. Wander Franco and Vidal Brujan are not going anywhere. One blue-chip prospect like Brendan McKay would do it. Food for thought and something discussed thoroughly on this week's Locked On Rays Podcast:
