Veteran pitcher Max Scherzer will continue his career with the Toronto Blue Jays after signing a new contract with the team.
According to a source with knowledge of the agreement, the accomplished left-hander has committed to a one-year deal worth $3 million with the American League champions. The source requested anonymity when speaking with reporters Thursday morning because the contract requires Scherzer to pass a physical examination and has not yet been officially announced by the organization.
The 41-year-old veteran has the opportunity to boost his earnings significantly through performance incentives that could add up to $10 million to his base salary.
During the previous season, Scherzer compiled a 5-5 record with a 5.19 earned run average across 17 starts, pitching 85 innings for Toronto in his 18th major league campaign. The pitcher had previously joined the Blue Jays organization in February 2025 on a $15.5 million one-year deal.
Scherzer brings considerable experience and accolades to the Blue Jays roster, having earned three Cy Young Awards throughout his distinguished career.
