Max Scherzer is joining the Toronto Blue Jays, agreeing to a 15.5 million, one-year contract, according to a person with direct knowledge of the deal.

According to a report from Z101 DIgital reporter Hector Gomez, the Blue Jays and Guerrero are working toward a multi-year extension. However, Guerrero's self-imposed deadline is just more than two weeks away.

The six-foot-three product of St. Louis, Mo., is a three-time Cy Young Award winner and a two-time World Series champion, having won with the Rangers in 2023 and the Washington Nationals in 2019. His career regular-season record stands at 216-112 with a 3.16 ERA and 3,407 strikeouts.
