Max Scherzer, after re-signing with the Toronto Blue Jays for a one-year, $3-million deal (potentially $10 million with incentives), announced he is ready for the 2026 MLB season, feeling healthy and free from a thumb issue that affected him in 2025. The 41-year-old plans to pitch multiple innings in spring training against the Philadelphia Phillies. Scherzer’s addition bolsters the Blue Jays’ starting rotation, which includes Kevin Gausman and José Berríos, while Shane Bieber is expected to return from forearm fatigue during the season.
