2025 Blue Jays

That they’re counting on him as a starter and come June they’re down a starter?

The Jays aren't flush with quality/reliable pitchers, and it's not like banking on Scherzer is going to break their playoff aspirations.

I'll take my chances on getting whatever they can out of Scherzer. If they need a starter come June, bring someone up or find someone off the scrap heap.

A one-year deal is a minimal to no downside, high reward signing in my opinion.

I agree with everything you’re saying. I’m just not holding my breath that he can last the season. That’s all.
 
It really feels like this Alonso thing is just waiting for the Mets to give him something slightly better and we are just the last minute backup.
 
Heyman is reporting Scherzer is a Blue Jay.

So the rotation as of today will be: Gausman - Scherzer - Berrios - Francis - Bassitt

* Manoah potentially available around the trade deadline and Yariel as the stretch/6th starter.

Well, that’s something. Hopefully, he can stay somewhat healthy.

Bergman got 120x3 from Boston. I don’t get how he’s a 40 mil player. Oh well, take what you can get.

I feel like part of it was the BoSox feeling like they needed to make a splashy signing. On a short-term deal, it's probably not a significant overpay, either. If he's still a 4+ WAR guy for the life of the deal, he's a $30-$35 million player.
 
And with that my anticipated attendance at Jays games this year is zero.

What a joke of a franchise.

Zero playoff wins. A top 10 payroll. A bottom 1/3 farm system.

Atkins and Shapiro have been a massive failure that faces zero consequences. This is the easiest era to make the playoffs in MLB history. The AL East hasn't been the Yankees and Red Sox spending 100+ million dollars more than anyone else.

Why they aren't being walked out the back door is beyond me.
 
Can’t wait to see Vlad Jr win multiple World Series for the Yankees in big finals against the Ohtani Dodgers

And think how we came *SO* close to signing them all
