Is he now? It must be very frustrating for him to have to play on one of the Top 7-8 teams in the league. Is he going to demand a trade to a Top 3-5 team?
How often do "star players" ask for trades off of clearly competing teams LOL? If Gausman is going to ask for a trade, does that mean that it's going to be open season for the under-.500 Padres and their stable of superstars? Surely under the same logic I expect Soto, Tatis, etc, etc. to demand trades this offseason?
Talk about melodrama. There are star players who play for teams much worse than the Blue Jays whom I've never heard a peep out of.
