Max Scherzer - Trade to Rangers in place The Mets agreed to trade Scherzer to the Rangers on Saturday, but the deal is pending Scherzer's approval, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact There's no word yet on what the Mets are getting in return, but Scherzer will have to waive his no-trade clause before the deal is completed in the first place. If the deal does go through, Scherzer will join a Rangers rotation that already ranks fifth in the majors in ERA.

Pete Alonso - Another two-homer night Alonso went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 5-1 win over the Nationals.
Impact After launching two homers against the Yankees on Tuesday, Alonso repeated the feat against a division rival, taking MacKenzie Gore deep in the fifth inning for a three-run shot before driving a Rico Garcia fastball over the wall in center field for two more runs in the seventh. Alonso's bat may have woken up too late to salvage the season for the Mets, but over his last eight games he's batting .400 (12-for-30) with seven extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and four homers) and 11 RBI.

Max Scherzer - Sharp in ninth win Scherzer (9-4) picked up the win in Friday's 5-1 victory over the Nationals, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out seven.
Impact The 39-year-old blanked Washington for six innings until Luis Garcia took him deep in the seventh, and Scherzer exited after 103 pitches, including 30 called or swinging strikes. The Mets are sellers at the trade deadline, so this could potentially have been his last start in a New York uniform, but Scherzer's $43.3 million player option for 2024 and full no-trade clause make it unlikely he'll be sent elsewhere. He's at least pitching well enough to be of interest to a contender -- he has five quality starts in his last eight outings, posting a 3.53 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 61:16 K:BB through 51 innings over that stretch.

Adam Ottavino - Mets won't name closer Mets manager Buck Showalter said Friday that he won't name a closer following the trade of David Robertson, with Ottavino and other options "on the table," Anthony DiComo of MLB.co...
Impact "All options are on the table. ... You might be surprised who might emerge," Showalter said. As DiComo points out, Ottavino easily has the most closing experience with 39 career saves. Brooks Raley has been better this season, though, and collected a save Thursday. Both relievers are worth rostering in deeper fantasy leagues, but it sounds as if this job won't be held down by one guy.
