Future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer, 42, might keep pitching, and if his boffo finale in Toronto on short rest is any indication, there’s more there.

He tells The Post he plans to pitch in “lockout games” near his Florida home, which will give him a better idea if season 20 will happen.

He’s also only three strikeouts short of forever frenemy Justin Verlander for No. 8 on the career list with 3,556 K’s. …

Man, I really want the Jays to sign both Trevor and Taylor Rogers this offseason. If for no other reason that the jerseys will be confusing as hell with three T Rogerses on the team, two of whom are identical.

Japanese 18-year-old pitching prospect Shoki Oda and his camp met with MLB teams yesterday, including the Phillies and Mets. He is expected to meet with the Cardinals, Blue Jays, Astros, Yankees and others in the coming hours.

Oda would be eligible to sign on Jan. 15, 2027, if the international signing period is not canceled.

Quick check if he's plane on the way to either our florida complex or Toronto!!!

Here we go again, also don't want skubal, rather divide his money to a lesser starter and get after an actual offnesive option.

Is Brandon Lowe the answer?

Well .. the Jays have no choice. They stink at offense and driving bombs

I would target Luis Arráez instead. Only player in MLB history to win three Major League Baseball (MLB) batting titles in three consecutive years, with three different teams from 2022 to 2024. Lowe had a good year with the Pirates last year, but if you do a deep dive into his numbers in the AL East playing with the Rays from 2021 to 2025- his offensive numbers are pretty mediocre to me (AVG, ON BASE, OPS, etc).

Luis Arraez is one of the best contact hitters in all of MLB on the other hand, and his defense is good overall also. That is the guy I would target instead of Lowe or even a guy like Jazz Chisholm Jr. Luis Arraez would look good at Second Base and hitting in the top of the order, to help this pathetic offensive team.

Return to Toronto Blue Jays
