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.

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.

MLB Network's Jon Heyman reported Thursday that the Blue Jays are signing right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer to a one-year deal worth $15.5 million. At 40 years old, Scherzer was one of the top remaining starting pitchers available in free agency.
