The Chicago Cubs acquired veteran right-hander Kevin Gausman from the Toronto Blue Jays just before the MLB trade deadline, marking their second trade together. In exchange, the Blue Jays are expected to receive prospects Brett Bateman and Ty Southisene. Gausman, who has a 4.38 ERA in 23 starts this season, previously excelled with the Blue Jays, posting a 2.93 ERA during their 2025 World Series run. The Cubs, currently 6.5 games behind the NL Central leaders, aim for Gausman to bolster their rotation.
