"I just don't see how that's the last pitch I've ever thrown. I've been part of some special groups. This one's right up there with all of them in terms of how we played, how we cared about each other. I've had that feeling on the other teams, and this team had that."
"41-year-old Scherzer was a key part of the Blue Jays' run to the World Series in 2025. In Game 4 of the ALCS against the Seattle Mariners, he picked up his first postseason win since 2019. He also started for Toronto in Games 3 and 7 of the World Series."
Max Scherzer, at 41 years old, has signed with the Toronto Blue Jays for the 2026 season on a one-year deal worth $3 million plus $10 million in incentives. Scherzer was instrumental in Toronto's 2025 World Series run, earning his first postseason win since 2019 in Game 4 of the ALCS against Seattle and starting Games 3 and 7 of the World Series. After the season, Scherzer expressed his desire to continue playing, stating he didn't see how that would be his last pitch. His family also embraced the team experience, with his eight-year-old daughter writing a letter to the Blue Jays in December expressing hope that her father would return. The Blue Jays strengthened their pitching rotation by signing Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce while retaining other key arms.
