Max Scherzer put the Toronto Blue Jays in position to win Game 7 of the World Series last season as he posted 4 1/3 innings and departed action with a two-run lead. Unfortunately for John Schneider's club there were still plenty of twists and turns remaining in an instant classic that ended with the Los Angeles Dodgers as World Series champions and the Blue Jays lamenting what could have been.
Their quest to return to—and perhaps win the Fall Classic this coming October—will once again include Scherzer as the veteran starting pitcher agreed to terms on a deal that will bring him back in 2026. Scherzer will earn $3 million base salary with up to $10 million incentives.
