Lots of great names mentioned, but none that are clearly better than Scherzer/Strasburg.
When combined, that pair averages 5.5 fWAR each over the last 3 years.
For reference Kluber was 3rd in the CY Young voting in 2016 with 5.8 fWAR. And Syndergaard has never reached 5.5 (and no knock on Thor, I'm a big fan of him as well).

2 Chris Sale 6.1
3 Trevor Bauer 5.9
4 Max Scherzer 5.8
5 Aaron Nola 5.7
6 Patrick Corbin 5.5
7 Gerrit Cole 5.4
8 Justin Verlander 4.6
9 Luis Severino 4.5
10 Corey Kluber 4.2
This is the current top 10 in fWAR - I dont see Strasburg on that list, but I see 2 cleveland pitchers and 2 astros pitchers. Im not sure what you are arguing re:Strasburg. He and Scherzer combined arent as good as the Cleveland or Houston top 2 right now.

Unless you are arguing that Trevor Bauer is clearly better than Max Scherzer? That would be a hard sell.

Notably, all four of the top Cleveland SP are in the top 12!!!

Dodgers acquired 3B David Freese from the Pirates for INF Jesus Valdez.
It isn't the biggest move in the world, but Freese brings a quality veteran bat that mashes left-handed pitching and can be a weapon off the bench for the Dodgers. It's the type of under-the-radar pickup that could potentially make a big difference as the Dodgers push for a postseason berth. The 35-year-old is hitting .283/.337/.447 with nine homers and 41 RBI in 237 at-bats on the season.

If Ramos stays with the Phillies and continues to share time with Alfaro, he will be worthless to me as a cheap $6 keeper next year and force me to consider someone else. He needs to be a DH in the AL.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
