Kevin Gausman Expected to Make Cubs Debut Friday Night at Kansas City
The veteran right-hander, acquired from Toronto on Sunday, is 5-10 with a 4.38 ERA this season and joins a revamped Chicago rotation.
- On Sunday, the Chicago Cubs acquired 35-year-old pitcher Kevin Gausman from the Toronto Blue Jays, with Gausman expected to make his Cubs debut Friday against the Kansas City Royals.
- Chicago's front office had inquired about Gausman's availability for years; the veteran brings a 14-season track record with a 3.85 ERA and 345 career starts to a restructured rotation.
- Manager Craig Counsell now manages reliever Ryan Zeferjahn and left-hander Braxton Garrett alongside Gausman, creating internal competition for starting spots as the deadline acquisitions reshape the rotation.
- Gausman called the trade a "shot of adrenaline" for his new club, and his wife remarked "It's about time" upon hearing of the deal, as he eyes a World Series return.
- The Cubs, positioning themselves for a postseason run, may face the Los Angeles Dodgers later this year—a potential rematch of the 2025 Fall Classic where the Dodgers defeated the Blue Jays.
