7/27/25 | Blue Jays Star Adds Another Record to His Hall of Fame Resume. Max Scherzer is in the final stages of his career, but that did not stop the Toronto Blue Jays from going after him this past winter and handing him a one-year, $15.5 million contract. Despite injuries limiting him to just 17 starts in a season-and-a-half with the Texas Rangers in 2023 and 2024, the Blue Jays felt the veteran would be a major boost for their rotation. Scherzer had his best performance since coming to Toronto despite picking up the loss, allowing just three hits while striking out 11 batters across seven innings.

7/10/25 | Blue Jays Linked to Guardians Star, but Trade Value Could Be a Sticking Point. The Toronto Blue Jays have cemented their status as playoff contenders and buyers ahead of the 2025 MLB trade deadline with a recent hot stretch. Prior to their 2-1 loss at the hands of the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, the team was riding a 10-game winning streak, which included a sweep of the New York Yankees. With their playoff odds currently sitting at 81.1% according to Baseball Reference, it would make sense for the Blue Jays to be aggressive in seeking out upgrades ahead of the deadline at the end of the month. Toronto is going to search high and low for starting pitching help, and preferably, the player they acquire is controllable for multiple years since Max Scherzer and Chris Bassitt are on an expiring contracts and Kevin Gausman's deal expires after the 2026 campaign.
