Report: Blue Jays Among Teams Interested in Kevin Gausman

Toronto had significant interest in Gausman coming into the offseason, a Blue Jays source told Inside the Blue Jays' Mitch Bannon. The 30-year-old right-hander, however, decided to sign a one-year, $18.9 million contract with the San Francisco Giants where he posted a career-best 2.81 ERA in 192 innings and finished sixth in National League Cy Young voting.

Gausman has also received interest from the Seattle Mariners, Los Angeles Angels, and his former team, the Giants, per Morosi.

The Blue Jays reportedly offered Gausman a three-year deal "in the neighborhood of $40 million" last offseason, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.
