for Toronto return
By The Associated Press
Max Scherzer's 8-year-old daughter wanted her father back with the Blue Jays so
much she wrote a letter to the team in December expressing her hope for his
return to Toronto.
After the three-time All-Star agreed Wednesday to a $3 million, one-year
contract, the pitcher's wife, Erica May-Scherzer, posted a copy of the
handwritten note by Brooke. May-Scherzer said her daughter wrote the letter,
dated Dec. 15, and asked her parents to mail it to the team.
"Dear Blue Jays," the note began, "I am so sorry that you didn't win the World
Series. I hope that you win next time. I hope my dad is back on the team. My
whole family loves spending time in Toronto with our dad. We loved the
aquarium, the (CN) Tower and of course the stadium. I am looking forward to
come back next season. Love, Max Scherzer daughter"
An eight-time All-Star, Scherzer is a 41-year-old right-hander with a 221-117
record and a 3.22 ERA for Arizona (2008-09), Detroit (2010-14), Washington
(2015-21), the Los Angeles Dodgers (2021), New York Mets (2022-23), Texas
(2023-24) and Toronto (2025). He ranks 11th on the career list with 3,489
strikeouts --- 20 behind Hall of Famer Walter Johnson.
He was went 5-5 with a 5.19 ERA in 17 starts and 85 innings for the Blue Jays
last season, and he made three starts in the postseason, beating Seattle 8-2 in
Game 4 of the American League Championship Series. He started Games 3 and 7 of
the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
