(www.beisbolmundial.com) The Los Angeles Dodgers, World Series champions, carried out a gigantic trade, for ace Max Scherzer and All-Star shortstop Trea Turner of the Washington Nationals on Thursday night.

So far the deal isn’t closed but it has already emerged as a rumor in various media, because the exchange was not complete. The Nationals would land four young players for Washington’s dynamic duo.

Scherzer has been given permission to speak to the Dodgers to see if he gives up his right to veto any trade, a power he has as a 10-year veteran who has been with his team for at least five years.

If the trade goes through, it would be a breakthrough for the Dodgers, who are three games behind San Francisco, the leader of the NL West. Los Angeles holds first place in the wild-card race, two and a half games ahead of San Diego.

Scherzer is 8-4 with a 2.76 ERA in 19 starts this season, and he also started the NL All-Star Game this month.

A three-time Cy Young Award winner and an eight-time All-Star, Scherzer would join a deep and talented Dodgers pitching staff that includes Clayton Kershaw, Walker Buehler, Julio Urías, David Price and more.

Turner is a force across the field, hitting .322 with 18 homers and 49 RBs, along with 21 stolen bases and is coming as a replacement for Corey Seager out with injury.

Trea, 28, was an All-Star for the first time this season. He tied a major league record by hitting for the cycle for the third time in his career, he did so last month on his birthday.
