Max Scherzer and Toronto Blue Jays agree to $3 million, 1-year deal, AP source

NEW YORK (AP) --- Max Scherzer is returning to the Toronto Blue Jays.
The three-time Cy Young Award winner has agreed with the reigning American
League champions on a $3 million, one-year contract, a person familiar with the
negotiations told The Associated Press early Thursday.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the deal was
subject to a successful physical and had not been announced.
The 41-year-old Scherzer can earn another $10 million in performance bonuses.
Scherzer went 5-5 with a 5.19 ERA in 17 starts and 85 innings for the Blue Jays
last season, his 18th in the major leagues. He signed a $15.5 million, one-year
contract with Toronto in February 2025.
