Max Scherzer can earn up to $325,000 in incentives from his one-year, $15.5 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman.
Heyman provided a list of the individual triggers, the biggest of which hinges on Scherzer winning a fourth Cy Young award:
Jon Heyman @JonHeymanMax Scherzer<br>Blue Jays<br><br>$15,500,000/1<br><br>Plus: $150,000 for Cy Young <br> ($125,000-2nd; $100,000-3rd;$75,000-4th;$50,000-5th)<br> $50,000 for All Star<br> $50,000 for Gold Glove<br> $50,000 for WS/MVP<br> $25,000 for LCS/MVP<br><br>Full No Trade
There's a pretty good chance the right-hander fails to hit any of those bonuses.
