<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-scherzer">Max Scherzer</a></strong> earned a total of $15.5 million last season playing for the<strong> Toronto Blue Jays </strong>and helping them reach the World Series, which they ultimately lost to the Dodgers. According to Spotrac’s Market Value projection, the Blue Jays might have <strong>to pay significantly less to bring the veteran back </strong>to the mound next season.</p>



<p>Spotrac values Scherzer <strong>at only a $9 million average annual salary.</strong> While this is not a definitive salary figure, it indicates that he could potentially return to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays">Blue Jays</a> for an amount inferior to what he earned last year.</p>



<p>It should be remembered that<strong> Scott Boras is Scherzer’s agent,</strong> meaning negotiations will not be easy for the Blue Jays. The most interesting fact is that despite being a veteran pitcher, <strong>he has not received a salary of less than $10 million since 2013</strong>; from that point on, $15.5 million has been his minimum take-home pay.</p>



<h2>Blue Jays ready to spend money</h2>



<p>In a recent article for Sportsnet, Shi Davidi revealed that the Blue Jays<strong> would be willing to spend money to bring in more top arms </strong>should they fail to negotiate with Scherzer. This includes a former Phillies starter who is now a free agent.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="775" height="216" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251111_BUS_524246_image-2_54233db6.webp&amp;width=775&amp;height=216" alt="" class="wp-image-524247"></figure></figure>



<p><em>“…Something to keep in mind as the Blue Jays explore the markets for the likes of Dylan Cease (whom they tried to trade for last off-season), <strong>Ranger Suárez, Michael King and Tatsuya Imai,</strong>” </em>Davidi wrote, detailing how the team has identified alternatives to reinforce the mound.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/best-pitchers-in-mlb-history"></div>


<p>But these are not the only options. According to Davidi, the Blue Jays are prepared to spend big this offseason to<strong> bring different kind of players</strong>, similar to other major teams like the Dodgers, Yankees, and Mets, a notion also supported by Bob Nightengale’s reporting.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-scherzer">Max Scherzer</a> is the last weapon the <strong>Blue Jays</strong> will deploy against the <strong>Los Angeles Dodgers</strong> in the <strong>2025 World Serie</strong>s in a bid to win <strong>Game 7</strong>. Scherzer’s career record against the Dodgers stands at 5-6 since 2008. While slightly negative, his ERA against the defending champions remains quite good.</p>



<p>As a Blue Jays player, Scherzer has officially pitched<strong> in two postseason games against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Dodgers</a></strong>. The first was in Game 3, a marathon 18-inning loss for Toronto, where he allowed three runs but received no decision. Game 7 will be his second.</p>



<p>During the regular season,<strong> he worked just 6.0 innings in a single game in California</strong>. The Blue Jays again lost that matchup (1-5), and Scherzer allowed two runs. The Dodgers hitter who poses the most significant threat against him is Shohei Ohtani, who holds a .500 average against the veteran.</p>

<p>These are Scherzer’s career stats compiled by StatMuse since 2008, including his time with the <strong>Diamondbacks, Tigers, Nationals, and Mets,</strong> as well as the single regular-season game with the Blue Jays on August 8th against the Dodgers.</p>

<h2>How many game 7s has Scherzer pitched in?</h2>



<p>Scherzer is a World Series veteran. He has<strong> appeared in a total of two Game 7s prior to the November 1st matchup against the Dodgers</strong>, making this his third decisive championship game. Both previous Game 7 appearances <strong>resulted in a win for his team</strong>—the Astros and Rangers (in 2019 and 2023)—though he did not earn the win decision in either. He currently holds a 5.92 ERA in his World Series Game 7 outings.</p>


        


<p>In general, Scherzer performs well in the postseason regardless of the opponent: he has logged <strong>153 postseason innings pitched,</strong> holds a 16-16 record, and carries a 3.82 career ERA in the playoffs, having allowed a total of only 23 home runs and 117 hits.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-scherzer">Max Scherzer</a></strong> has yet to pitch against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2025 World Series, but the <strong>Toronto Blue Jays</strong> already have a plan for him: <strong>he will start Game 3 in California. </strong>The team has also determined its pitcher for Game 4.</p>



<p>By starting Scherzer in Game 3, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays">Blue Jays</a> aim to win on the road, <strong>striking a heavy blow against the Dodger</strong>s and proving they have more to offer than just winning at home. Game 3 is widely expected to be one of the most intense contests of the World Series.</p>



<p><em>“I’m here to compete. <strong>I’m here to win.</strong> I wouldn’t be going backwards for any motivation,” </em>Scherzer said before Game 2 against the Dodgers. <em>“I have plenty of motivation. I’m here to win, and I got a clubhouse full of guys who want to win too. So<strong> we’re a great team, </strong>and that’s the only thing I need to think about.”</em></p>



<h2>Scherzer vs. Dodgers head-to-head</h2>



<p>StatMuse has compiled a helpful record showing Scherzer <strong>holds a 5-6 record against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Dodgers</a>.</strong> However, only one of those decisions came as a Toronto player—a loss on August 8, 2025.</p>

<p>Scherzer has not earned a win against the Dodgers since 2019 when he was with the Nationals. In that game,<strong> he posted a 2.57 ERA and his team won 5-2 at Dodger Stadium</strong>, which at least offers a historical preview of how Scherzer might perform in Game 3.</p>



<h2>The Blue Jays’ pitcher for Game 4</h2>



<p>In addition to Scherzer, the Blue Jays <strong>have already named the pitcher for Game 4: Shane Bieber. </strong>Bieber was not part of the regular season rotation this year but will be given the opportunity to start. In seven regular-season games with the team, he finished with a 4-2 record and a 3.57 ERA. In the postseason, Toronto has used him in <strong>three starts for a 4.38 ERA.</strong></p>

<p>By starting Game 4 against the Seattle Mariners,<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-scherzer">Max Scherzer</a></strong> becomes the pitcher with the <strong>most postseason starts for different teams</strong> in MLB history. In total, he has now started playoff games on the mound <strong>for six different franchises.</strong></p>



<p>Scherzer had not started a postseason game in two years, with his last start coming in 2023 with the Rangers, when they went on to <strong>win the World Series</strong>. That championship earned him his second <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> ring and secured his place in the league’s history books.</p>



<p>Scherzer’s career postseason <strong>ERA is a solid 3.78</strong>. Since 2011, he has consistently proven he has the arm strength to perform and give the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/blue-jays">Blue Jays</a> a good opportunity to advance in the postseason, especially with the team facing a 2-1 deficit against the Mariners in the series heading into Game 4.</p>



<p>During Game 4, Scherzer proved to be exactly what the Blue Jays needed: a veteran with the experience to deliver a win. He pitched admirably, allowing just two runs over 5.2 innings and registering five strikeouts.</p>

<h2>How many postseason games does Scherzer have?</h2>



<p>Scherzer has accumulated 3<strong>1 postseason appearances in total, starting 26 of those games.</strong> The majority of his starts (10) came with the Tigers between 2011 and 2014. The Nationals are the other team he had numerous playoff starts with (8) between 2016 and 2019, the latter year being when he won his first World Series ring.</p>



<p>Scherzer has reached the World Series three times with three different teams: the Tigers in 2012, the Nationals in 2019, and the Rangers in 2023. His overall postseason record remains solid at 8 wins and 8 losses, underscoring his reputation as a highly effective pitcher in October.</p>

Scherzer about to break historic MLB record in Blue Jays–Mariners game

<p>The anticipation is building in Toronto. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-scherzer">Max Scherzer</a></strong>, the veteran ace with a Hall of Fame résumé, appears to be on the verge of making his long-awaited return to the majors. On the same night the<strong> Toronto Blue Jays</strong> dominated the <strong>Arizona Diamondbacks</strong>, Scherzer delivered a commanding performance for <strong>Triple-A Buffalo</strong>, reinforcing the belief that his comeback is imminent.</p>



<p>Pitching in Worcester, Massachusetts, Scherzer struck out eight batters across<strong> 4 1/3 scoreless innings, throwing exactly 75 pitches</strong> — the target set for what could be his final rehab outing. The right-hander’s fastball averaged 92.5 mph and topped out at 94.2, a promising sign for a player of his mileage and stature.</p>



<p><em>“<strong>He always thinks his stuff is ready</strong>,”</em> manager<strong> John Schneider</strong> told MLB.com. <em>“It’s more the physical part with how he’s feeling during the outing tonight, tomorrow and the days in between. That’s where we’ve landed with him.”</em></p>



<h2>One step away from the Majors</h2>



<p>This outing was<strong> Scherzer’s most complete since being sidelined with a thumb issue</strong> after his brief Blue Jays debut in March. His performance not only showed command and velocity but also the durability to handle a full workload — a critical step before returning to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> action.</p>

</div></figure>



<p>Should his body respond well in the days following the start, Scherzer is expected to rejoin the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays">Blue Jays’</a> rotation as soon as next week. His return would offer an immediate upgrade to Toronto’s pitching staff and could redefine the team’s trajectory heading into the second half of the season.</p>

<h2>What’s next for Toronto and Scherzer</h2>



<p>Scherzer’s presence on the mound offers more than just innings; it brings experience, intensity, and a competitive edge that can lift an entire clubhouse. Toronto’s rotation has weathered inconsistencies this year, and the addition of a three-time<strong> Cy Young</strong> winner would be timely as the team battles for positioning in the <strong>AL Wild Card</strong> race.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="685407239a59e2e0ea8f7343" data-title="Will Max Scherzer make a successful return to the Blue Jays rotation?" data-options="4"></div>


<p>If all goes according to plan, Scherzer could make his next start at the major league level. That alone is enough to shift the narrative in Toronto — from survival to contention.</p>

Max Scherzer sends strong signal in Triple-A outing as Blue Jays near decision - Bolavip US

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays">Toronto Blue Jays</a> have high hopes that Max Scherzer can be a key player for them in the 2025 MLB season. However, <strong>with the veteran pitcher’s latest admission about his thumb</strong>, his immediate future is uncertain just a week and a half before Opening Day.</p>



<p>Speaking from Blue Jays camp, Scherzer revealed he is experiencing pain in his thumb—something that is unbearable for a pitcher of his caliber. <strong><em>“My thumb hurts. It hurts to grip the ball,”</em></strong> he said. He emphasized how crucial the thumb is for pitching. <strong><em>“The critical thing I’ve learned over the years here is that your thumb is absolutely critical to your arm health.”</em></strong></p>



<p>According to Scherzer, this is an issue he has been dealing with for some time. <strong><em>“Unfortunately, this is what I’ve been dealing with since 2023,”</em></strong> he admitted. He also acknowledged the risk of further complications. <strong><em>“The danger of pitching with this is that you could sustain a shoulder injury.”</em></strong></p>



<p>The Blue Jays want him to recover, and a specialist is already working with Scherzer to address the issue. <strong><em>“It hasn’t manifested out into the nerve pain yet, but that’s why I’m working with the hand specialist, the doctors, the trainers,” </em></strong>Scherzer said.</p>

<h2>Scherzer Wants to Play, but Not While Injured</h2>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-scherzer">Max Scherzer</a> is currently on a one-year, <strong>$15 million contract with the Blue Jays—a solid salary for a 40-year-old veteran</strong>. Last season, he was limited to just nine starts with the Texas Rangers due to injuries, making it another difficult year for him.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/mlb-highest-paid-coaches"></div>


<p>The last time Scherzer made at least <strong>20 starts in a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> season was in 2023 when he pitched in 27 games</strong>—19 with the Mets and 8 with the Rangers—posting a 3.77 ERA over 152.2 innings.</p>



<h2>Blue Jays’ Rotation Without Scherzer</h2>



<p>It remains to be seen whether Scherzer will be fully available for Opening Day, but if he isn’t, the Blue Jays will need to adjust their rotation. For now, <strong>José Berríos, Chris Bassitt, Bowden Francis, and Kevin Gausman</strong> remain in the mix.</p>

<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-scherzer">Max Scherzer</a> will have a new team for the 2025 season, <strong>as the Toronto Blue Jays have decided to open their wallets to sign the veteran pitcher</strong>, who recently played for the Texas Rangers and was one of the most sought-after free agents due to his experience.</p>



<p>According to Jon Heyman’s initial report,<strong> Scherzer will head to Toronto to play for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays">Blue Jays</a> next season after agreeing to a one-year deal worth $15.5 million.</strong> Notably, Scherzer’s salary in Texas was over $40 million per year under a previous massive contract.</p>



<p>The Toronto Blue Jays now have a seasoned arm in their rotation that could help elevate their other veteran pitchers, <strong>including Kevin Gausman, Jose Berrios, and Chris Bassitt. </strong>All of them bring enough experience to potentially propel the team into a playoff run—something they failed to achieve<strong> last <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> season with a 74-88 record, finishing fifth in the AL East.</strong></p>



<p>It’s important to note that 2024 wasn’t a productive year for Scherzer,<strong> as he only appeared in 9 games and spent the final four months of the year on the injury list due to a hamstring issue. </strong>This was compounded by fatigue in his pitching shoulder and several weeks of recovery early last year following back surgery.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="664" height="190" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250130_BUS_325103_image-47_620a543a.webp&amp;width=664&amp;height=190" alt="" class="wp-image-325122" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/30173526/image-47.png 664w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/30173526/image-47-300x86.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px"></figure></figure>



<h2>What Was the Largest Contract Scherzer Has Signed?</h2>



<p>Scherzer’s largest contract to date was with the Washington Nationals, <strong>where he signed a seven-year deal from 2015 to 2021 worth $210 million</strong>. After that, he moved to Texas, joining the Rangers on a three-year, $130 million contract.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/top-mlb-players-who-never-won-a-championship"></div>


<h2>Scherzer’s Experience Could Be Key for the Blue Jays</h2>



<p>With two World Series rings under his belt—one from the 2023 season with the Rangers and another from 2019 with the Nationals—Scherzer, at 40 years old, is no stranger to the postseason. <strong>In 30 career playoff appearances, he has posted a 3.78 ERA over 143 innings pitched, a feat few pitchers can match. </strong>The Blue Jays haven’t played in a postseason since 2023 and haven’t advanced past the Wild Card game since 2016, when they reached the ALCS but lost to the Cleveland Guardians.</p>

Max Scherzer agrees to one-year deal with Blue Jays, marking significant salary cut

<p>The<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays">Toronto Blue Jays</a></strong> are making their intentions clear in this <strong>MLB</strong> free agency. Following the high-profile signing of <strong>Anthony Santander</strong> for $92.5 million, the Canadian team is looking to further bolster its roster. And the name generating the most buzz across the league is <strong>Max Scherzer</strong>.</p>



<p>Although injuries limited <strong>Scherzer to just nine starts in 2024</strong>, raising concerns about his durability for 2025, his track record speaks for itself. In 2022, during his stint with the <strong>New York Mets</strong>, he posted an outstanding <strong>2.29 ERA</strong> across 23 starts. Despite being 40 years old, many in the league still believe he has plenty left to offer.</p>



<p>According to Mark Feinsand of <em>MLB.com</em>, the Blue Jays have emerged as the frontrunners to land the veteran pitcher. Toronto’s interest in Scherzer has been one of the worst-kept secrets of the offseason. <em><strong>“Toronto has been hot for him for about two months,”</strong></em> a source told Feinsand. <em><strong>“The Blue Jays certainly feel like the favorites to get him.”</strong></em></p>



<h2>A high-profile addition to the Blue Jays’ rotation</h2>



<p>While the Blue Jays, like any interested team, are mindful of the risks associated with <strong>Scherzer’s injury history</strong>, they also recognize the opportunity to add an eight-time All-Star, three-time Cy Young Award winner, and two-time <strong>World Series</strong> champion.</p>

<p>If <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-scherzer">Max Scherzer</a> joins Toronto, he would strengthen a rotation that already features standouts like <strong>Kevin Gausman</strong> and <strong>José Berríos</strong>. <strong>Bowden Francis </strong>and<strong> Chris Bassitt </strong>also seem locked into their spots, while <strong>Yariel Rodríguez </strong>could take on a long-relief role.</p>

<h2>What’s next for Scherzer?</h2>



<p>Beyond his on-field performance, Scherzer would bring leadership and invaluable experience to a team with championship aspirations. While other teams are also in the mix for his services, the Blue Jays currently stand out as the leading contenders to secure the veteran ace in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> free agency.</p>

MLB Rumors: Blue Jays’ push for star pitcher Max Scherzer heats up


<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers">Texas Rangers</a></strong> won Game 1 of the 2023 MLB <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-series">World Series</a></strong> against the Arizona Diamondbacks in dramatic fashion, 6-5 in 11 innings. Adolis García hit a walk-off home run to give the Rangers the victory.</p>



<p>However, the Rangers lost Game 2, 9-1, as <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-diamondbacks">Diamondbacks</a></strong> starter Merrill Kelly pitched seven innings of one-run ball. The Rangers’ offense was held in check, managing just three hits on the night.</p>



<p>The series is now tied at 1-1, and the Rangers will look to take home using a veteran as a boost in Game 3. They are ready to start one of their best pitchers, but the defense strategy will be pretty much the same in this game.</p>



<h2>Rangers’ starting pitcher for Game 3</h2>



<p>According to multiple sources and Rangers’ manager Bruce Bochy, <strong>the starting pitcher will be Max Scherzer for Game 3 against the Arizona Diamondbacks on the road. During</strong> the postseason his most recent game as a starter was against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-astros"><strong>Astros</strong></a> and the Rangers lost that game during the ALCS. <strong>His postseason record in 2023 is 0-3.</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231030_BUS_81712_Scherzer-of-the-Rangers-1024x576.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Scherzer of the Rangers" class="wp-image-80998" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Scherzer-of-the-Rangers-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Scherzer-of-the-Rangers-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Scherzer-of-the-Rangers-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Scherzer-of-the-Rangers-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Scherzer-of-the-Rangers.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Scherzer of the Rangers</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Scherzer is a three-time Cy Young Award winner and a eogjt-time All-Star. He is known for his powerful fastball and his devastating slider. He is also a very intelligent pitcher, and he is able to adjust his game plan on the fly, but during the 2023 postseason things have not been easy for him.</p>



<p>Scherzer can change things up in Game 3 by establishing his fastball early. He can then use his slider and his changeup to keep the Diamondbacks’ hitters off balance. He can also use his experience to pitch to contacts and force the Diamondbacks to make mistakes.</p>



<p>In addition to his pitching skills, Scherzer is also a leader on the mound. He can help to settle down the Rangers’ defense and give them confidence. He can also be a vocal presence in the dugout, helping to keep his teammates motivated.</p>



<h2>How can the Rangers improve their inconsistent offense in Game 3?</h2>



<p>The Rangers need to be patient at the plate and work the count. They can’t afford to swing at the first pitch. They need to force the Diamondbacks’ pitchers to throw strikes, and then they need to capitalize on those mistakes. The Rangers also need to be aggressive on the basepaths. They can steal bases and put pressure on the Diamondbacks’ defense.</p>



<h2>Is this the end of an era for Max Scherzer?</h2>



<p>He is still one of the best pitchers in baseball, and he has said that he wants to continue pitching for several more years. However, he is also 39 years old, and he has had a few injuries in recent years.</p>

<p>The baseball world is abuzz with the news of<strong> a significant trade in the making</strong> as the<strong> Texas Rangers</strong> finalize an agreement with the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">New York Mets</a></strong> for the acquisition of seasoned right-handed pitcher<strong> Max Scherzer</strong>, per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. With all the details worked out, the deal is now pending approval from the player himself, which could transform the Rangers’ pitching prospects and elevate their chances in a fiercely contested American League West division.</p>



<p>The Rangers’ rotation has shown its effectiveness, but the season-ending injury to ace<strong> Jacob deGrom</strong> has highlighted the need for additional depth. Acquiring a pitcher of Scherzer’s caliber would provide a significant boost to the team’s pitching prowess and reinforce their position as contenders in the league.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230730#BUS#38101"></div>


<p>Meanwhile, for the New York Mets, this trade development signifies the possibility of a broader sell-off as they approach the trade deadline.<strong> With a disappointing performance in the season</strong>, the Mets may explore further roster adjustments, and the potential departure of Scherzer could signal a new direction for the team.</p>



<h2>Scherzer’s Performance and Contract Details</h2>



<p>Max Scherzer, a three-time<strong> Cy Young Award winner</strong>, has posted a 4.01 ERA during the 2023 season. Despite allowing the most home runs in the National League, he has a 4.03 K/BB ratio in 107 2/3 innings. However, he has faced challenges, dealing with neck and back issues, including a neck spasms-related scratch and a suspension for excessive sticky substance use.</p>



<p>Scherzer’s current contract with the Mets,<strong> a three-year, $130 million deal signed in November 2021</strong>, includes an opt-out clause after the current season. Should Scherzer choose not to exercise his opt-out, the Rangers would have the esteemed pitcher under contract for the 2024 season at a salary of $43.3 million.</p>



<p>Recent trade developments, particularly the Mets’ decision to trade closer David Robertson to the Marlins, may have influenced Scherzer’s consideration to waive <strong>his full no-trade clause and approve the deal to Texas</strong>. This move could open new possibilities for Scherzer as he joins a talented Rangers rotation in their quest for postseason success.</p>

<p>As much as people like to complain about today’s status of the best baseball tournament on Earth— and rightfully so, I do believe Manfred is a killer of joy— <strong>baseball continues to be king when it comes to securing a big payday.</strong></p>
<p>We continue to see some of the most lucrative deals year in and year out, with stars making last season’s payday look like spare change. At least, that’s how<strong> Justin Verlander and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/Aaron-Judge-signs-mega-deal-with-Yankees-How-much-does-he-make-per-year-month-week-and-day-20221207-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aaron Judge</a> </strong>made us all feel. That’s why today, we’ll take a look at MLB’s highest earners for 2023.</p>
<h2>The Highest-Paid MLB Players</h2>
<h3>3. Aaron Judge – $40M Per Year</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221207_BUS_208314_aaron_judge_x1x.jpg_22993414_7d0fe2ee.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Aaron Judge – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Aaron Judge </strong>saga is finally over. The reigning AL MVP will stay with the<strong> New York Yankees</strong> for the next nine years at $360 million. He bet on himself last season, and it’s sure to say he hit the jackpot.</p>
<p>While it’s unlikely that he’ll hit 60+ homers per year going forward, Judge has earned every single penny of this new deal. He’s become the heart and soul of the organization, and now <strong>Brian Cashman </strong>needs to surround him with more talent.</p>
<h3>2. Justin Verlander – $43.3M Per Year</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221207_BUS_208314_justin_verlander.jpg_22993414_62c6a753.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Justin Verlander – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Justin Verlander</strong> is fresh off an impressive AL Cy Young campaign. The fact that he had one of the best seasons of his career at his age and coming off Tommy John surgery only makes that more impressive.</p>
<p>The<strong> New York Mets</strong>, however, took a major chance by signing such a veteran player after enduring a massive workload last season. Hopefully, he’ll stay healthy and won’t underperform in the playoffs as per usual.</p>
<h3>1. Max Scherzer – $43.3M Per Year</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>As you may see by now, the <strong>New York Mets </strong>aren’t afraid of breaking the bank to secure aging hurlers. They made it clear by making <strong>Max Scherzer </strong>the highest-paid MLB player on a per-year basis last season.</p>
<p>Scherzer is one of the greatest, most dominant aces on Earth, and he’s been like that for more than a decade now. However, <strong>Steve Cohen</strong> still needs to do some more work to put an end to his team’s World Series drought.</p>
<h2>Other Notable Players:</h2>
<p><strong>Giancarlo Stanton’s Contract:</strong> 13 years, $325M, $25M per year.</p>
<p><strong>Gerrit Cole’s Contract:</strong> 9 years,$324M, $36M per year.</p>

<p>But now that all aces have seemingly gotten their legs back under them, we’ve seen some true gems as of late. Contrary to what <strong>Robert Manfred </strong>wants, we’ve witnessed several pitching duels and low-scoring affairs.</p>
<p>So, with most pitchers getting at least three starts so far this season, let’s take a look at the top two way-too-early candidates to win the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/cy-young-award-history-records-and-winners-by-year-20220411-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cy Young Award</a></strong>, both in the <strong>National and American League.</strong></p>

<h3>Max Scherzer</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>Death, taxes, and<strong> Max Scherzer</strong> being near the top of the Cy Young race. The ageless Mad Max continues to prove why the<strong> Mets</strong> signed him to such a massive deal, dominating out of the gate in his new home.</p>
<p>Thus far, the former Nationals ace has been nearly unhittable, sitting on a<strong> 3-0 record with a 1.80 ERA after four starts. </strong>He’s struck out 33 hitters across 25.0 frames, handing out just 8 walks to boast a WHIP of 0.760. He’s also leading MLB in hits per nine innings (4).</p>
<h3>Carlos Rodon</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Carlos Rodon</strong> has proven to be worth every penny since arriving in the Bay Area. The <strong>Giants</strong> were confident that he could fill in for <strong>Kevin Gausman</strong> and he’s been even better in this brief tenure at Oracle Park.</p>
<p>Coming off an All-Star season, Rodon has been even better this year, holding a perfect<strong> 3-0 record with a 1.17 ERA in 4 starts</strong>. He’s got a WHIP of 0.826 with 38 strikeouts in 23.0 IP and is leading MLB with a 0.95 FIP.</p>

<h3>Joe Ryan</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>While the <strong>Minnesota Twins </strong>haven’t exactly been good this season, <strong>Joe Ryan</strong> has been one of the most impressive hurlers in all of baseball. Thus far, the 26-year-old has built on his strong Spring Training and proven to be worthy of a spot in the rotation.</p>
<p>Through his first four starts of the season, Ryan holds a <strong>3-1 record with a 1.17 ERA</strong>. He’s also logged 25 strikeouts across 23.0 IP and holds a WHIP of 0.696, the best in the Majors. He’s given up just 6 walks and 3 earned runs, two of them coming off homers.</p>
<h3>Logan Gilbert</h3>

<p>The <strong>Seattle Mariners</strong> looked to improve from their overachieving season in 2021 and their pitching has sure helped them do that. Especially <strong>Logan Gilbert</strong>, having a breakout sophomore season thus far.</p>
<p>Gilbert is leading the Majors in ERA+ (897) and ERA (0.40) after four starts. He’s got <strong>a 3-0 record with a WHIP of 0.851,</strong> striking out 22 hitters over 22.1 innings of work. He’s only allowed one earned run, which came via homer, and has given up just 4 walks.</p>

<p><strong>MLB Commissioner <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/robert-manfred-explodes-following-mets-statements-controversy-20200828-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert Manfred</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-delay-opening-day-2022-and-cancels-first-two-series-of-the-season-funniest-memes-and-reactions-20220301-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Team Owners</a> </strong>continue to shoot this beautiful sport dead. In yet <strong>another attempt to blame the players </strong>for trying to do what’s right for their colleagues, the league decided to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-lockout-five-major-events-that-could-be-impacted-20211202-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cancel games</a> through April 13.</strong></p>
<p>Team owners refuse to engage in meaningful conversations or cave into any of the MLBPA’s demands, yet they’re making it look as if the ‘millionaire players’ <strong>don’t know what’s best for the game they actually play.</strong></p>
<p>Moreover, MLB has engaged in a <strong>dirty media war</strong> with ambiguous statements in a failed attempt to twist the narrative in their favor, which is why <strong>MLBPA board executive and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mets-fan-favorite-lenny-dykstra-on-possible-old-timers-day-snub-20220210-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Mets</a> star Max Scherzer </strong>had to set the record straight.</p>
<h2>Max Scherzer Calls Out Major League Baseball Over Twisted Narratives</h2>
<p><em>“I was in [Florida]. We were never offered the Int’l draft,” </em>Scherzer tweeted. <em>“We did discuss it, but MLB told us they were NOT going to offer anything for it. At that point, we informed all players &amp; agreed to no draft.<strong> This is just MLB muddying the waters and deflecting blame. Fans, [please], hang in there with us.”</strong></em></p>
<p><strong><em>“We want a system where threshold and penalties don’t function as caps, allows younger players to realize more of their market value, makes service time manipulation a thing of the past, and eliminate tanking as a winning strategy,”</em></strong> the three-time Cy Young winner added.</p>

<h2>MLBPA Releases Statement As MLB Cancels More Games</h2>
<p><em><strong>“The owners’ decision to cancel additional games is completely unnecessary,” </strong></em>the statement read.<em><strong>“After making a set of comprehensive proposals to the league earlier this afternoon, and being told substantive responses were forthcoming, Players have yet to hear back.”</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>“Players want to play, and we cannot wait to get back on the field for the best fans in the world. Our top priority remains the finalization of a fair contract for all Players, and we will continue negotiations towards that end,”</strong></em> the statement concluded.</p>
<p>This lockout is costing players thousands by the day. And yeah, every single star can afford that. But they know it goes way beyond them. <strong>Apparently, they’re willing to go the distance to try and salvage this once glorious sport.</strong> Hopefully, they’ll succeed before<strong> Manfred’s infamous tenure puts yet another nail on its coffin.</strong></p>
