33 mins agoAccording to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Toronto Blue Jays have signed free-agent right-handed pitcher Max Scherzer to a one-year contract worth $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. Last summer, the 40-year-old was limited to just 43 1/3 innings of work due to shoulder fatigue and a hamstring strain. Across this stint, Scherzer held a 3.95 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP. He struck out 40 batters with a strong 5.6% walk rate. Scherzer has expressed that a healthy offseason will prepare him well for the 2025 campaign. In 2023, he posted a 3.77 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP with 174 punchouts across 152 2/3 innings of work. Fantasy managers should expect Scherzer to start the season in the rotation, which will likely push Yariel Rodriguez to a long-relief role.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
