The Toronto Blue Jays are considering trading Max Scherzer despite his recent successful rehab start in Triple-A. Analyses suggest Scherzer, who has struggled this season, could be a target for teams looking for low-cost pitching options as the trade deadline approaches. Scherzer threw five no-hit innings in his recent outing and is likely to return to the major leagues soon, possibly on his 42nd birthday. He expressed eagerness to contribute to the Blue Jays, though analysts speculate he might waive his no-trade clause to join a more competitive team. The Blue Jays are looking to strengthen their roster after a disappointing end to last season.
