Toronto Blue Jays sign three-time Cy Young winner Scherzer to one-year deal: reports
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly signed right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer.
ESPN and the New York Post say the free agent and Toronto have agreed to a one-year deal worth US$15.5 million.
Scherzer, 40, spent last season with the Texas Rangers where he posted a 2-4 record with a 3.95 earned-run average and 40 strikeouts, but missed much of the campaign due to injuries.
The six-foot-three product of St. Louis, Mo., is a three-time Cy Young Award winner and a two-time World Series champion, having won with the Rangers in 2023 and the Washington Nationals in 2019.
