White Sox:
The Chicago White Sox might look to add some starting pitching in the offseason. Lance Lynn, Lucas Giolito, and Dylan Cease are for sure going to be there. We think Dallas Keuchel will be there looking to have a comeback type season. Michael Kopech and Garrett Crochet are also in the mix to become starters.
Despite some of those uncertainties, the biggest question is Carlos Rodon and whether or not he is going to be back. There are some big decisions to be made on whether paying him a lot of money for a long time is a good idea or not.
Cy Young:
Scherzer was traded to the Dodgers at the trade deadline along with Trea Turner from the Washington Nationals. He was brilliant in his Nationals career following an amazing tenure with the Detroit Tigers. He also began his career with the Arizona Diamondbacks but his stay there was very short.

Contract:
Ben Clemens of Fangraphs projects Max to get a deal worth $70 million over two years. This $35 million AAV is the highest projected by Clemens.
Scherzer’s salary is deferred through 2028, so while the Dodgers will be responsible for paying that $35 million eventually, they won’t owe him anything this season.
