Max Scherzer considers future after 2026 season, Ty France draws interest

Max Scherzer is contemplating his future as he participates in offseason 'lockout games' to assess if he will continue his career after the 2026 season. The Blue Jays pitcher ended his season with a strong performance, allowing one run in seven innings during Game 162. Meanwhile, Ty France has attracted interest from multiple teams following a career year, presenting potential for a quick contract as a free agent. France's improved performance at the plate and strong defense as a first baseman have positioned him as a top target for teams like the Diamondbacks and Mets. Additionally, Jyun-Yue Tseng, a right-handed reliever from the Fubon Guardians, is available for MLB teams after an impressive season.
