Max Scherzer joined the Toronto Blue Jays convinced he can win a World Series with a third team following titles with Washington and Texas

Max Scherzer is coming off an injury-riddled season in which he posted a 2-4 record and a 3.95 ERA across nine starts. The 40-year-old right-hander had difficulty staying healthy last season, but his track record of elite performance over the years can’t be overlooked.

As a three-time Cy Young Award winner and an eight-time all star, Scherzer undisputedly is one of the elite big league pitchers of the past decade-plus. The back of his baseball card displays it and a long list of vanquished hitters confirm it.

Make no mistake about it: Veteran starting pitcher Max Scherzer said he signed a one-year, $15.5M deal with the Toronto Blue Jays because he wants to win. However, after an up-and-down offseason, are the Blue Jays really in a position to do just that?

The Jays welcomed the future Hall of Famer into the fold on Tuesday with the official signing of the one-year pact. Scherzer will work in the starting rotation for the Jays, who are trying to overcome a last-place finish in 2024.

As the Blue Jays continue building out their 2025 roster, Toronto remains the team most likely to sign Max Scherzer.

Right-hander Max Scherzer and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a one-year, $15.5 million contract, sources tell ESPN. The Blue Jays have been interested in Scherzer for weeks now, and the deal for him to join their rotation is done. First on the news was @JonHeyman.
