"Scherzer came to Toronto in 2025 looking to add to his Hall of Fame resume with perhaps one more World Series ring. With two already on his trophy case, Scherzer got the nod to start Game 7 of the World Series for the Blue Jays against the Dodgers in the hopes of adding a third. Sadly it didn't turn out that way and it felt like the 41-year-old Scherzer would retire just one game short of those championship aspirations."
"However, throughout the offseason, Scherzer has more often than not been quoted as saying he is all ears for any offers that come his way and even said he's willing to wait until the season starts before deciding to join a team who may require his services. Now, there could be a reason there aren't many teams knocking on his door as he pitched to a 5.17 ERA in 17 starts with the Blue Jays in the regular season."
The Toronto Blue Jays added Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce to the rotation and bolstered the bullpen with Tyler Rogers and Chase Lee but remain open to more pitching, including a possible reunion with free agent Max Scherzer. Scherzer joined Toronto in 2025 at age 41 and started Game 7 of the World Series, finishing the year considering retirement after falling one game short. Scherzer has said he is open to offers and willing to wait. His 2025 regular season included a 5.17 ERA in 17 starts, with a 3.47 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 57 innings after returning from a thumb injury, and 11 strikeouts in 14.1 postseason innings with six earned runs.
