Gausman Doesn’t Want to Leave Blue Jays on a Sour Note with Trade Deadline Looming
Jeff Passan said Toronto has a 35% chance to move the veteran right-hander as the club weighs selling before the trade deadline.
- ESPN analyst Jeff Passan reports a 35% chance the Toronto Blue Jays trade veteran pitcher Kevin Gausman before the August 3 deadline, with potential interest yielding a valuable asset in return.
- Sitting fifth in the American League East with a 46-55 record, the Blue Jays have struggled to replicate last year's dominant World Series run amid persistent offensive struggles.
- Gausman signed a five-year, $110 million contract in 2021 but has scuffled to a 4-9 record and 4.51 ERA this season despite his reliable tenure with Toronto.
- With the trade deadline approaching on August 3, Toronto faces difficult decisions regarding roster composition and the future of its biggest stars during this critical period.
- A pivot toward selling and prioritizing 2027 appears logical for the front office, as the team currently lacks the form of a legitimate contender this season.
