Reports: Max Scherzer returning to Blue Jays on 1-year deal
- This offseason, Max Scherzer agreed to return to the Toronto Blue Jays for his 19th major-league season, Jon Heyman confirmed, on a one-year deal with $3 million base and up to $10 million in bonuses.
- Facing durability questions, the Blue Jays weighed Scherzer's injury history, with John Schneider praising his competitiveness after postseason work, despite limited recent workload.
- Scherzer, a three-time Cy Young Award winner and two-time World Series champion, has 3,489 strikeouts and nearly $370 million in earnings, highlighting his pedigree.
- His 2025 record and workload create questions about his role in the Blue Jays' rotation, as Scherzer went 5-5 with a 5.19 ERA in 17 starts and 85 innings in 2025.
- Long-Term, Scherzer's career points toward a Hall of Fame legacy, as observers project he will make Cooperstown speeches after retirement, with a likely near-unanimous vote, given his early trade from Arizona Diamondbacks and debut two years later with Detroit Tigers.
