Kevin Gausman received a heartfelt message from the Blue Jays after being traded to the Cubs on the eve of the deadline. After four and a half seasons with the franchise, the Toronto Blue Jays bid farewell to Kevin Gausman after trading him away to the Chicago Cubs for two minor-league prospects. For Gausman's four and a half seasons with the Blue Jays, he's done nothing but contribute positively to the team. With his departure, the Blue Jays are saying goodbye to a man who always gave it his all for the team, which nearly brought home another World Series title for the franchise. The 35-year-old pitched 861.0 innings during his time with the Blue Jays, recording an ERA of 3.62 strikeouts to go along with 920 strikeouts across 148 appearances.
