It may have taken a while for things to come to fruition this offseason, but the Toronto Blue Jays eventually were able to bring back Max Scherzer for another go-around. However, because the deal ultimately came after training camp had started, many had expected that Scherzer would need extended Spring Training to get himself ready and potentially miss the start of the regular season.
Well apparently that isn’t in the plans, at least according to Mad Max himself. That is because the returning Blue Jays pitcher has no intentions of missing Opening Day and is getting himself ready for March 27, which will be the first game of the 2026 season for Toronto.
