Washington, DC (SportsNetwork.com) - The Washington Nationals made it official on Wednesday, announcing a seven-year contract for free-agent pitcher Max Scherzer. The deal is reportedly worth $210 million. Scherzer turned down a $160-million offer last year from the Tigers. The 30-year-old right-hander began his MLB career with the Diamondbacks organization after being a first-round draft pick in 2006. He broke into the majors in 2008 with Arizona and also played for the Diamondbacks in 2009 before being dealt to Detroit. Scherzer won the 2013 AL Cy Young Award. That season he compiled a 21-3 mark with a 2.90 ERA. Last season, he went 18-5 with a 3.15 ERA. With the addition of Scherzer, assuming the Nationals dont deal away any of their top-line projected starters for 2015, Washington will field a rotation that will include Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann, Gio Gonzalez and Doug Fister. The Nationals had the best ERA in baseball among starting staffs last year at 3.04. They are also coming off a season in which they won 96 games and finished first in the NL East. Over his career, Scherzer has posted a 91-50 record and a 3.58 ERA in 207 games (198 starts). Alen Hanson Blue Jays Jersey . The (14-15-5) Jets are seventh in the Central Division with 33 points.

Bud Norris Jersey . on the 15-day disabled Monday list because of a strained right hamstring.Nasser Hussain described Alex Hales as the find of the series after the opener scored three fifties across Englands 2-0 triumph over Sri Lanka. Hales responded from a tough winter series in South Africa in which he scored 136 runs at an average of 17 by notching 86 at Headingley, 83 in Durham and 94 at Lords.Hussain feels the Nottinghamshire star has now cemented his place, while the Sky Cricket expert also saluted Englands man of the series, Jonny Bairstow, who followed a maiden Test ton in Cape Town with two centuries against Sri Lanka. Alex Hales scored 292 runs at 58.40 against Sri Lanka Hales is the find of the series, said Hussain. There were questions after South Africa of whether he could do it in an England shirt and while he may not have got a hundred he has proved he is a Test playerWe had a feeling Bairstow was maturing but he proved he is a serious player who didnt just have a one-off series in South Africa.I think that not only is he very talented but that he is also quite strong mentally and determined to improve and prove people wrong. Englands Man of the Series Jonny Bairstow told Michael Atherton that he wanted to prove his doubters wrong Hales and Bairstows success was not mirrored by Nick Compton, who seems set to be jettisoned for the series against Pakistan later this summer following a return of 51 runs at 12.75.Hussain reckons Durhams Scott Borthwick, who has scored 574 first-class rruns at 82 in 2016 and over 1,000 runs in each of the past three campaigns, will earn a call-up.ddddddddddddCompton seems to implode when things dont quite go his way, so England will be looking for someone in that pivotal No 3 position, said Hussain. Dean Wilson of The Mirror and Lawrence Booth of the Daily Mail discuss the future of Nick Compton and who could replace him for the Pakistan series The selectors will be looking at historical averages, who players are getting their runs against, where they are getting them, and how important the runs are.I feel Borthwick will come in - the only way James Vince might go up there is if they bring in Jos Buttler as wicketkeeper and play Bairstow as a batsman.England and Sri Lanka will now square off in a five-match ODI series, contests Bairstow could figure in after being brought back into the limited-overs fold for the first time since last summer. England are a good side with some very exciting players, added Hussain. They play super, modern white-ball cricket under Eoin Morgan.Sri Lanka are a better white-ball side but they have lost Tillakaratne Dilshan [due to personal reasons] for this series, while Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardena are gone, so I strongly fancy England.Watch England and Sri Lankas five-match ODI series live on Sky Sports, starting with the opening match, at Trent Bridge, from 1.30pm on Tuesday, June 21.
