Former Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman is putting his Toronto home on the market, and the asking price tells the story of where things stand.
This week, Gausman listed his Lawrence Park residence with Harvey Kalles Real Estate for $6,885,000. The near-5,000-square-foot home sits in Lytton Park, one of Toronto’s most affluent neighbourhoods.
Gausman originally bought the property in March 2022 for $7.65 million, four months after signing with Toronto in December 2021. He lived there for 4.5 years while with the Blue Jays, and under the current Toronto real estate market, he is expected to take a loss of just under a million dollars from what he paid.
Built in 2019, the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom house includes a full chef’s kitchen, a family room, a heated driveway and a spacious south-facing backyard. It is also minutes from local restaurants and schools.
The listing says the standout feature is the primary bedroom, which comes with a "spa-like" five-piece ensuite and expansive walk-in closet.
The sale comes a few months after Toronto traded the right-handed starter to the Chicago Cubs at the 2026 trade deadline for outfielder Brett Bateman and infield prospect Ty Southisene.
Gausman was in the final season of his five-year, $110 million contract when the Blue Jays decided to move him for future pieces rather than risk losing him in free agency. He did not want to be moved, but he spoke warmly about his time in Toronto as he left, saying he still thought of himself as a Blue Jay and that signing with the team was the best decision he had ever made.

Blue Jays Still Have One Major Rotation Question Heading Into 2027
Bowden Francis was one of the more encouraging pitching stories for Toronto late in 2024, when he settled into the rotation and gave the club a much-needed lift down the stretch. The right-handers rise had the look of a possible long-term answer, the kind of development that can quietly stabilize a staff and buy a team time as it sorts out the rest of its pitching depth.
Instead, his path has gone in a far different direction. Shoulder discomfort slowed him in 2025, and after Tommy John surgery in February 2026 he missed the entire season, leaving Toronto to wait on a recovery that is still unfolding as the calendar turns toward 2027. For a Blue Jays rotation trying to plan ahead, the biggest question is not what Francis looked like at his peak, but when he might be back on a mound at all. [Read more 🡒]
Blue Jays Must Avoid One Costly Free Agency Trap This Winter
The Blue Jays are headed into another winter where every dollar has to work a little harder, and that makes the free-agent market a tricky place to shop. The group of names being weighed against Torontos needs is a familiar one in October and November: established players, recognizable track records, and price tags that can quickly push a front office toward a decision it does not want to make.
Robbie Ray and Luis Arraez are the kinds of options that can look attractive at first glance, but the fit becomes less clean once the numbers and the roster needs are layered in. Toronto is searching for impact that matches its timeline, not just name value, and the caution here is less about whether these players can help in some role than whether the cost and profile line up with what the Blue Jays actually need this winter.
