Toronto Blue Jays sign Max Scherzer in free agency

After an offseason filled with missing out on the biggest names, the Toronto Blue Jays have come to terms with pitcher Max Scherzer.

The two sides have agreed to a contract per the NY Post’s Jon Heyman. It’s a one-year deal worth $15.5 million per ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Scherzer is a three time Cy Young Award winner and one of the best pitchers of his generation. However, he’s now 40-years-old and it remains to be seen how much he has left in the tank.

Last season, he threw 43.1 innings for the Texas Rangers, finishing with a 2-4 record, a 3.95 ERA, and 8.3 strikeouts per nine innings.
