Gausman’s Playoff Pedigree for Cubs | MLB News

The Cubs just pulled off a savvy trade, acquiring veteran pitcher Kevin Gausman from the Blue Jays before the deadline—sending two promising prospects in return. At 35, Gausman brings playoff pedigree and Cy Young votes, despite a rough recent stretch (6.47 ERA in his last 8 starts). His numbers this year aren’t stellar (4.38 ERA, 15 HR allowed), but he’s still got elite stuff that generates swings and misses—and with Chicago’s top-tier defense, his ERA could bounce back. He’s not flashy, but he’s exactly the high-upside arm the Cubs need to push deep into October. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
