Is Kevin Gausman leaving the Blue Jays?
“Trading Gausman ahead of the deadline is unlikely, noting that the Blue Jays are in contention and would need a premium return to deal a frontline starter.”
— ClutchPoints analysis
Every summer, the rumor mill churns for mid-market stars on competitive teams. Gausman, signed through 2026 on a 5-year, $110 million contract inked in December 2021, has all the ingredients for trade speculation: a high salary, team control, and a front office trying to balance contention with payroll flexibility (ESPN player profile). But the available evidence suggests a trade is unlikely.
His contract includes a limited no-trade clause, giving him some say over any potential move. And his 2023 performance — a 12-9 record, 3.22 ERA, and 1.18 WHIP across 185 innings — solidified his role as the Blue Jays’ second-most reliable starter after José Berríos (MLB.com player page). As of early 2024, no official trade discussions have been reported by any tier 1 or tier 2 source.
In June 2026, an analysis from ClutchPoints argued that trading Gausman ahead of the deadline is unlikely, noting that the Blue Jays are in contention and would need a premium return to deal a frontline starter.
While trade rumors circulate annually, no tier 1 or tier 2 source has reported active negotiations. The Blue Jays’ contention window makes a mid-season deal less probable.
Toronto’s front office faces a choice: deal Gausman to restock a thin farm system, or keep him to maximize a championship window that may only last another season or two. Every stat line suggests the latter is more probable.

In 2026, through June, Gausman had a 4-5 record with a 4.04 ERA and 89 strikeouts, while Statcast data shows an average exit velocity of 88 mph and a 36.3% hard-hit rate (Baseball Savant).
