Cubs Add Kevin Gausman in Rotation-Bolstering Trade with Toronto
Chicago lands the 35-year-old righty ahead of the trade deadline, addressing a rotation depleted by injuries.
The Cubs acquired Kevin Gausman from the Blue Jays in exchange for infielder Ty Southisene and outfielder Brett Bateman. Gausman is in the final year of a five-year, $110 million deal, earning $23 million in 2025. Despite a 5-10 record and 4.38 ERA, his 3.51 FIP suggests better underlying performance. The move addresses a Cubs rotation that has been heavily impacted by injuries throughout the season.
