Part 4/7:
As the Blue Jays consider a potential contract for Scherzer, the financial implications will also play a significant role. Given his status as a free agent, a one-year deal worth around $15-20 million could be on the table, allowing Toronto to secure a high-ceiling pitcher while navigating the complexities of their budget.
Moreover, the discussions surrounding Scherzer's interest in winning may inadvertently open up opportunities for complementary acquisitions, such as Pete Alonzo. The potential to bring in another impactful player could reshape the Jays’ roster and enhance their competitive chances.
