The deal with Toronto for Scherzer, 40, is reportedly pending a physical. The three-time Cy Young winner was limited by injuries to just 43⅓ inning with the Rangers in 2024.

According to a report from Z101 DIgital reporter Hector Gomez, the Blue Jays and Guerrero are working toward a multi-year extension. However, Guerrero's self-imposed deadline is just more than two weeks away.

Entering his age-40 season, Scherzer was never going to get more than a year, and his $15.5 million salary is right in line with Justin Verlander, Alex Cobb, Charlie Morton and other veteran arms who've signed this winter. But does that mean that the future Hall of Famer was the right fit for this Toronto team?
