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.

Scherzer was limited to nine starts with Texas last year, but ranks second among active pitchers in strikeouts, wins, and innings.

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.
