He was the father of a family before being the great pitcher of the three-time Cy Young Award. And a letter that her 8-year-old daughter pressed hard for her father is touching the hearts of Toronto fans. The story of Max Scherzer (42), who recently signed a single-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, is known and drawing attention.
According to multiple media outlets, including Major League Baseball's official website MLB.com , Scherzer's wife Erica released a letter sent by her daughter Brook to the Toronto club in December last year on her SNS after signing a contract to stay with Toronto. The letter contained a pure desire for his father to wear his Toronto uniform again.
According to multiple media outlets such as Canadian media SportsNet, Scherzer agreed to a one-year contract with Toronto on the 26th. It is a condition that 3 million dollars (about 4.3 billion won) is guaranteed, and the total amount will increase to up to 10 million dollars (14.3 billion won) depending on the option. Scherzer, who went 5-5 with a 5.19 ERA in 17 regular league games in Toronto last season, will be able to play in Toronto again.
In this situation, the daughter's letter was released. "I'm so sorry that Toronto didn't win the 2025 World Series," Bruck said in the letter. I hope you win next time," he said, showing his comfort to the club.
The following sentence was even more touching. Bruck said, "I want my dad back in the team. My whole family really loves spending time with my dad in Toronto," he wrote. In particular, he expressed deep affection for Toronto, citing the aquarium and Rogers Center, his home stadium where his father played baseball, as his favorite places.
For Scherzer's family, last season's time in Toronto appeared to have been more than just meaningful. Scherzer's Erica said: "Last season had an amazing impact on all of my family. I couldn't be happier to be back in Toronto," he said, expressing his overwhelming feelings about staying in Toronto in the 2026 season. Scherzer's daughter's letter is also a hot topic in Canada and the United States.
As Scherzer will also wear Toronto's blue uniform in the 2026 season as his daughter wished, fans are now in the "19th season of Scherzer." This letter from his daughter is expected to be a stronger motivation than anything else for him, who still exudes passion on the mound even after he is over the moon.
Sometimes a small letter like this inspires emotion outside the stadium. Toronto's mound is now expected to add a special energy of "family love" as well as "victory."
