MLB free agency: Braves sign Jurickson Profar to 3-year, $42 million deal; Max Scherzer joining Toronto Blue Jays

MLB free agency is cruising right along, with many of the big names off the board. But some impact players are still available.

Here’s a look at where things stand so far this offseason:

Future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer will spend his 18th MLB season in Toronto. Scherzer and the Blue Jays have reportedly agreed on a one-year, $15.5 million dealaccording to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Scherzer was No. 42 on Yahoo Sports’ list of this winter’s top 50 free agents. He was injured for much of 2024, pitching just 43 1/3 innings with a 3.95 ERA, but the season prior, he helped the Texas Rangers win the World Series.

After a relatively quiet offseason, the Braves are adding 2024 All-Star Jurickson Profar on a three-year, $42 million contract. Profar spent the previous season and a half with the San Diego Padres, hitting .280/.380/459 in 2024 and earning a Silver Slugger Award. He will make $12 million in 2025 and $15 million in each of the following two seasons.

Since winning the World Series in 2021, the Braves have struggled to get back to the top of the sport. They’ve reached the playoffs in the past three seasons but haven’t made it past the division series.

The Los Angeles Dodgers continued their offseason show of force on Tuesday by adding Kirby Yates, another of the top relievers on the market, to their bullpen, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

The former Texas Rangers closer has agreed to a one-year, $13 million contract with an additional $1 million in incentives for games played, according to Passan. The deal had been reported to be in the works a week ago.
