"Kevin Gausman was in the fourth year of his five-year, $110 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays when he finally reached the World Series stage this past fall. While the Blue Jays' continued struggles between 2022 and 2024 delayed Gausman's chance at playing at the biggest stage of the MLB playoffs, the starter was dominant for the club in 2025 and was a key part of the team's success this past season."
"No one pitched more than Gausman in the Blue Jays' starting rotation in 2025. Last season, the right-hander pitched 193 innings, which was the most in his career thus far. Gausman's innings contributions played a major role for Toronto's pitching, given that starters like Chris Bassitt, Jose Berrios, Eric Lauer and Max Scherzer weren't able to go deeper into games as often."
Kevin Gausman reached the World Series in 2025 during the fourth year of his five-year, $110 million contract with the Blue Jays after several seasons of team struggles. Gausman led the rotation in innings with a career-high 193 innings, providing stability while other starters often exited earlier. He has exceeded 174 innings each season since 2021, mirroring his durable 2021 workload. Strong underlying metrics and a 3.59 ERA in 2025 reinforced his effectiveness. The combination of durability, consistent innings, and solid performance positions him as the logical Opening Day starter.
