'Sick of the talk,' Blue Jays Kevin Gausman asks: What are we going to do now?

Kevin Gausman signed a five-year , $110 million US deal to become a cornerstone of the Toronto Blue Jays starting rotation back in December of 2021 .

He didn’t sign up to be on a team that was out of playoff contention in mid-summer and in massive sell-off mode at the July 31 Major League Baseball trade deadline.

With all of that has come frustration, a feeling prevalent among veterans in the Blue Jays clubhouse who following Sunday ’s finale here against the Miami Marlins will mercifully see the calamitous downturn end.

Gausman knew something wasn’t right before he arrived in Dunedin when he was diagnosed with capsulitis in his right throwing shoulder.

The veteran is the first to acknowledge his own shortcomings, particularly early in the season.

The pitching depth issue has been dogging the Jays for a few seasons now.

Gausman is hoping for the best with what he hopes will be a fruitful and healthy off-season.

“I don’t think the formula is ever easy. Every year you watch the team that wins the World Series and just about every year that team is constructed completely different than the one that one did last year .
