The Toronto Blue Jays, currently 39-44, may explore trading pitcher Kevin Gausman if they remain under.500 as the trade deadline approaches. Gausman, a key contributor last season, has a 4.36 ERA and is only contracted through 2026. While the team is still in the playoff conversation due to a weak AL, trading Gausman could yield prospects for the future if performance does not improve before late July. Analysts suggest that engaging in trade discussions may be prudent if the team's struggles persist.
