00:02The Chicago Cubs have acquired veteran right-hander Kevin Gaussman
00:05from the Toronto Blue Jays ahead of the MLB trade deadline.
00:09The 35-year-old is expected to slot into the top of Chicago's injury-depleted rotation
00:14for their playoff push.
00:15Gaussman has a 5-10 record with a 4.38 ERA this season,
00:19but his underlying numbers suggest he's been unlucky.
00:22He's tied for the league lead in starts with 23
00:24and is on pace for his sixth straight season with at least 31 starts.
00:28His postseason pedigree is what makes him valuable.
00:32In the Blue Jays' 2025 World Series run,
00:34Gaussman posted a 2.93 ERA over 30.2 innings.
00:39He's made 14 playoff appearances across six Octobers.
00:43Toronto received two prospects in return,
00:45including outfielder Brett Bateman and infielder Ty Southacene.
00:48Gaussman is in the final year of his contract
00:50and will be a free agent at the end of the season.
