Let's Set Odds: Where Will Kevin Gausman Play Next
Nobody expected Kevin Gausman to by a Cy Young contender this MLB season, but that's exactly what happened. He held a 14-6 record with the San Francisco Giants, while posting a 2.81 ERA and a 1.042 WHIP.
At 30 years old, Gausman is coming off the best season of his career and will now hit the free agency market.
WynnBET hasn't released odds on where he'll sign next, so we'll go ahead and make our own odds for it. Let's take a look at the most likely landing spots for Kevin Gausman this offseason.
Kevin Gausman Free Agency Odds
Los Angeles Angels +130
The Los Angeles Angels have been vocal that they need to spend money this offseason, and they are in desperate need of improving their rotation. Sure, they have Shohei Ohtani, but their rotation falls off a cliff after him.
Gausman is already on the West Coast, so signing with the Angels would make a lot of sense.
San Francisco Giants +200
The Giants had one of the most impressive rotations in Major League Baseball last season, but they are losing the majority of it to free agency. They'll have to pick and choose which ones to re-sign, and Gausman could certainly be one of the arms they decide to invest in.
He'll be more expensive to sign this time around than he was two years ago.
Boston Red Sox +350
The Boston Red Sox will be looking to improve their starting rotation this offseason, and Gausman would make a lot of sense. He'd slide right in alongside Nathan Eovaldi and Chris Sale, and he's already familiar with pitching in the AL East considering he started his career in Baltimore.
Los Angeles Dodgers +600
If the Dodgers aren't able to retain Clayton Kershaw or Max Scherzer this offseason, they'll be looking to sign a veteran arm to slide into their rotation. If Kershaw or Scherzer aren't options, then the Dodgers may look to snag Gausman.
Gausman would remain in the NL West, which he may want to do now that he's comfortable pitching in the division.
