The Toronto Blue Jays are bringing back starting pitcher Max Scherzer for the 2026 season. The 41-year-old Ace, who turns 42 this year, returns after a strong showing last season. He started 17 games with a 5-5 record, 82 strikeouts, and a 5.19 earned run average. Scherzer even pitched well in game 7 of the World Series, though the Jays lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He's already at Spring Training Camp and through a side session in full uniform today. Reports say he'll throw again on Wednesday and can make his great fruit league debut as soon as Saturday. This early action has fans excited to see the future Hall of Famer back on the mound. Blue Jays supporters are thrilled to have Scherzer resigned, especially after coming so close to a championship last year. At his age, questions linger about how much he can produce, but his experience adds stability to the rotation.
