His career took off after he joined the San Francisco Giants, who helped him fine-tune his splitter to form a devastating combination with his four-seam fastball.
Gausman, obtained on a one-year, $9 million contract, posted a 3.62 earned run average with 80 strikeouts and only 16 walks in 5923 frames during the 2020 season. After returning to the Giants, he was even better in his second season with the team, posting a 2.81 earned run average with 229 strikeouts and only 50 walks in 192 appearances.
He made his first All-Star team, finished sixth in the National League Cy Young Award voting, and became one of the most coveted free agents on the market.
Gausman could help fill a hole in the rotation. Steven Matz had a 14-7 record with a 3.82 ERA in 29 starts for Toronto last season. The veteran agreed to a four-year, $44 million deal with the St. Louis Cards.
