MLB Rumors: Blue Jays reportedly consider reunion with two-time World Series champion

The Toronto Blue Jays are gearing up for a promising MLB season after narrowly missing out on a World Series title last year against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Determined to go all the way in the upcoming season, the Blue Jays have made several strategic offseason enhancements and are not stopping there. Reports suggest they are contemplating a high-profile reunion.

According to Tom Ruminski of The Score, the Blue Jays are considering bringing back two-time World Series champion Max Scherzer for the next season. Ruminski notes, “The 41-year-old Scherzer is reportedly back on the Blue Jays’ radar after the club made a late run at Framber Valdez before the left-hander agreed to a deal with the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.”

Incorporating Scherzer into their rotation would give the Blue Jays an experienced arm, potentially in his final MLB season. His presence could serve as a catalytic force for the team’s ambitions, providing a blend of skill and veteran leadership to motivate Toronto’s players to push for excellence.

Following reports that the Red Sox signed a versatile infielder formerly with the Blue Jays on a $6M deal, Toronto is expected to counter with an announcement potentially featuring Scherzer, alongside other key offseason acquisitions.
