The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to retain All-Star pitcher Kevin Gausman at the trade deadline. Gausman, who has a 3.60 ERA this season, is a key player despite the team's injury struggles. With the Blue Jays in contention for a Wild Card spot, they would need to falter significantly in their upcoming games to consider a trade. Reports suggest that the team values Gausman's contributions, especially after last year's playoff run, and would prefer to keep him through the season.
