Max Scherzer is heading north. The legendary right-hander has agreed to a one-year, $15.5 million contract with the Blue Jays for 2025, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand on Thursday. The team has not confirmed the deal.
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.
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.
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.
