Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman recently went on the Deep Left Field podcast and made it evidently clear that all he cares about is winning a World Series ring.
Gausman signed a 5 year deal with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2022 and his time in Toronto has been far from what he planned prior to signing with the team as he expected to be competing in the World Series.
Kevin Gausman makes it clear that all he cares about is winning a World Series ring
«That’s my ultimate goal. All I care about now is getting a ring. I would trade me having a 6.00 ERA right now if I knew we were going to win the World Series next year. Some people might think that’s ridiculous for [me] to say, but that’s how I truly feel. That’s how much I want a ring. I think about that constantly,» Gausman said.
The Blue Jays pitcher added that he has had a ton of heartbreak in baseball never really getting the chance to go deep, the closest coming in 2016 when he was with the Orioles and was eliminated by his curreent team.
«I feel like I’ve had a lot of heartbreak in baseball,» added Gausman. «I’ve just had a lot of games where I’m sitting in the dugout, unfortunately, and my season’s over, and it stinks, you know? But I try to use it as motivation. I think about those things when I’m going through the grind of the workouts in the off-season. I think about those things a lot.»
Clearly Gausman is not satisfied with just making a bunch of money and being a good pitcher, he wants to win more than anything and that shows a true leader which the Blue Jays need if they plan on winning.
