Max Scherzer has agreed to a one-year, $15.5 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, as reported by a source with direct knowledge of the deal. The 40-year-old pitcher had a limited season with the Texas Rangers in 2024, making only nine starts and finishing with a 2-4 record and a 3.95 ERA due to various injuries.
Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, will be joining a Blue Jays rotation that includes Kevin Gausman, José Berríos, and Chris Bassitt. The team also has promising young pitchers like Bowden Francis and Yariel Rodríguez.
