MLB in brief: Max Scherzer to pitch Game #3 | Dana Brown against her former protégé

Max Scherzer will start game #3

How many shots can he make?

The Mets are not moving quickly in their process for a new manager

Several candidates are not yet available to chat.

Dana Brown against her former protégé

The current GM of the Astros drafted the current GM of the Rangers, Chris Young, back in time.

Before becoming Astros GM, Dana Brown scouted and signed a bevy of future big leaguers.

One of them just happens to be Chris Young.
