Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman received some encouraging news this morning as he is listed among possible winners for the 2025 Cy Young award.
The Blue Jays have some seriously big holes when it comes to their starting rotation as they barely have 5 solid pitchers to fill an entire rotation as it currently stands but the team is hoping to see a big year out of Kevin Gausman and Bowden Francis.
Gausman is coming off a rough year in 2024 where he stated he came back from injury too early and his game suffered out of the gate for it but he was able to recover finishing with a
The 33-year-old Gausman went 14-11 for the Blue Jays this year, who finished last in the American League East. He posted a 3.83 ERA.

Hopefully the Blue Jays get the Gausman from 2023 back this upcoming season as they will need it.
