The Toronto Blue Jays kept their January momentum rolling Thursday with another big-name signing. Already this month, the Blue Jays had added two 2024 All-Stars in relief pitcher Jeff Hoffman and outfielder Anthony Santander.

"I'm sorry, Toronto." That's how ESPN MLB Insider Jeff Passan summed up yet another failed Toronto Blue Jays free agent pursuit. The culprit this time?

The Toronto Blue Jays are on the board again this offseason as they just signed free agent Max Scherzer to a one-year deal.

According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Toronto Blue Jays have signed free-agent right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer to a one-year contract with $15.5 million. The Blue Jays have been linked to Scherzer throughout the offseason and have finally reached an agreement with the three-time Cy Young winner.

The three-time Cy Young Award winner agreed to a one-year, $15.5 million contract, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. The Blue Jays appeared to confirm the report with a tweet of two differently colored circles, an apparent nod to Scherzer's heterochromia.

The three-time Cy Young winner will join a rotation that includes Jose Berrios, Kevin Gausman and Chris Bassitt as the Blue Jays try to make it back to the postseason. In 2024, the Blue Jays pitched to a 4.29 ERA, which was among the bottom 10 teams in all of baseball, but Gausman, Berrios and Bassitt all pitched to lower ERAs than that number.
