Max Scherzer Re-Signs with Blue Jays, Daughter's Letter Influenced Return

Veteran pitcher Max Scherzer has re-signed with the Toronto Blue Jays on a one-year, $3 million deal, with incentives up to $10 million. His return was reportedly influenced by a handwritten letter from his 8-year-old daughter, Brooke, to the team. The 41-year-old, three-time Cy Young winner went 5-5 with a 5.19 ERA in 17 starts last season for the Blue Jays and made three postseason starts. He ranks 11th all-time with 3,489 strikeouts.
