Scherzer, the three-time Cy Young Award winner who turns 41 in July, has agreed to a one-year, $15.5 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, his fifth team in the past five seasons. MLB Network was first to report Scherzer was joining the Blue Jays.

The three-time Cy Young winner will join a rotation that includes Jose Berrios, Kevin Gausman and Chris Bassitt as the Blue Jays try to make it back to the postseason. In 2024, the Blue Jays pitched to a 4.29 ERA, which was among the bottom 10 teams in all of baseball, but Gausman, Berrios and Bassitt all pitched to lower ERAs than that number.

According to Pat Ragazzo of SI.com, the Blue Jays have signed right-hander Max Scherzer to a one-year, $15.5 million deal. “Heard things began heating up on this front after his pro day at Cressey Sports Performance last week. Toronto was the favorite and now landed the future Hall of Famer,” Ragazzo reported.
