Scherzer signed a one-year, $15.5 million contract with Toronto after an injury-plagued 2024 with the Texas Rangers.
Signing three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer to a one-year, $15.5 million contract in free agency, Toronto bolstered its starting pitching rotation. The 40-year-old Scherzer is not who he was in his prime, particularly from an availability standpoint, but still posted a 116 ERA+ in 17 starts for the Texas Rangers the last two seasons.
