Who Will Win the Max Scherzer Sweepstakes?: Buster Olney of ESPN is OCD enough to analyze the chances for all 30 teams to sign free agent pitcher Max Scherzer. Spoiler alert: It doesn't look good, Colorado Rockies fans.
He predicts the Tigers will get him. He doesn't rank the others, but seems highest on the Cubs, Giants and Nationals in that order.

Dave Dombrowski has already stated that the Tigers are done pursuing Scherzer, but sure, I'll take him back into the rotation if it helps them devote more time looking for bullpen help. I mean, I'd like to see them win a WS before Mike Illitch keels over...

So, for those of us who do not shell out for even more of the WWL's mediocrity, does Buster see as favorites?
