1 week ago Blue Jays pitcher Max Scherzer and his family say they've fallen in love with Toronto

Max Scherzer has enjoyed plenty of great moments throughout his MLB career, but the three-time Cy Young Award winner's recent stint with the Toronto Blue Jays may rank near the top.The Blue Jays took a bit of a gamble in free agency when they signed the 41-year-old starting pitcher to a one-year contract. After all, he had only been able to pitch 43.1 innings with the Texas Rangers the year prior.The regular season wound up being rocky for Scherzer, who once again struggled to stay on the mound and was inconsistent when healthy. That completely changed in the playoffs, as the future Hall-of-Famer made three starts, including Game 7 of the World Series. He logged 14.1 innings over those three starts while posting a respectable 3.77 ERA.Thanks in large part to his playoff showing, Scherzer's time in Toronto (should he not re-sign) will be looked back on fondly by the fan base. It appears the experience was every bit as enjoyable for himself and his family."When Max signed...
