The Toronto Blue Jays are reportedly interested in re-signing free agent Kevin Gausman, who was traded to the Chicago Cubs during the 2026 season. Gausman, a two-time All-Star, struggled this year with a 4.38 ERA. Toronto faces a need for pitching depth ahead of the 2027 season, especially with injuries affecting several of their starters. Gausman's familiarity with the team could make him a valuable addition, even if he is no longer a top rotation option.
