According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Toronto Blue Jays have come to terms with Max Scherzer on a one-year deal. Coming off an injury-riddled season, Scherzer will look to bounce back in 2025.
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 Toronto Blue Jays boosted their starting rotation Thursday by agreeing to terms with future Hall of Fame pitcher Max Scherzer, according to a new report.

Toronto’s pitching rotation has officially become one of the most competitive in the league. The Blue Jays have reportedly agreed to a free-agent contract with right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer, signing the veteran arm to a one-year deal worth $15.
The deal with Toronto for Scherzer, 40, is reportedly pending a physical. The three-time Cy Young winner was limited by injuries to just 43⅓ inning with the Rangers in 2024.

The Toronto Blue Jays have had as poor of luck as any organization in free agency in recent offseasons after narrowly falling short on numerous big-time names the last two winters.
Entering his age-40 season, Scherzer was never going to get more than a year, and his $15.5 million salary is right in line with Justin Verlander, Alex Cobb, Charlie Morton and other veteran arms who've signed this winter. But does that mean that the future Hall of Famer was the right fit for this Toronto team?
