The Washington Nationals are looking to trade for an elite starting pitcher, according to sources.
That desire has linked them to David Price and Max Scherzer.
Washington general manager Mike Rizzo drafted Scherzer while he was with the Arizona Diamondbacks back in 2006. The cost for Scherzer will likely be lower. He is under contract through the 2014 season, while Price is under contract for two years.
For now, sources say the Detroit Tigers are in "listening, not shopping" mode.
