"Gausman noted that the team hasn't spoken to him about an extension, but that he'd love to return to the team. He understands it's a business, so his return may not be in everyone's interest."
"Realistically, unless Gausman sharply declines in 2026, the Jays should be all over an extension for Gausman for two reasons: uncertainty with the Blue Jays rotation and Gausman's status as a great pitcher."
"Since signing that five-year deal, Gausman has been nothing short of great in his four seasons as a Blue Jay, posting an ERA below 4 and earning a Cy Young nomination in 2023."
"He'll turn 36 years old before the start of the 2027 season, so expect a short-term deal if he re-signs. Gausman has interest in re-signing with the team, and so should the Blue Jays."
Kevin Gausman expressed his desire to return to the Blue Jays, although no discussions about an extension have occurred. The team should consider extending him due to uncertainty in their rotation and his consistent performance. Gausman has excelled since joining the Blue Jays, maintaining an ERA below 4 in four seasons and earning a Cy Young nomination in 2023. At 36 years old before the 2027 season, a short-term deal is likely if he re-signs, making it crucial for the Blue Jays to act soon.
