Former Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman “broke down and he cried” after learning he had been traded.
The Blue Jays sent Gausman to the Chicago Cubs for two prospects ahead of the MLB trade deadline, thus marking the end of Gausman’s 4.5-year tenure in Toronto.
Gausman made it clear that he didn’t want to go anywhere, but with the Blue Jays eight games below .500 and with the pitcher on an expiring contract, Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins traded Gausman to Chicago to recoup some assets before he could depart as a free agent.
Kevin Gausman’s Emotional Reaction to Blue Jays TradeAccording to former Blue Jays center fielder Daulton Varsho, who was traded to the Houston Astros at the trade deadline, Gausman cried last night after hearing the news of the trade, along with Varsho and George Springer, who stayed put.
We broke down and he cried with me and George,'” Varsho told reporters after being traded to Houston, who, coincidentally, are playing the Blue Jays on Monday night.
