  "summary": "The Chicago Cubs have made a significant trade acquisition, acquiring two-time All-Star right-handed pitcher Kevin Gausman from the Toronto Blue Jays, according to sources Ken Rosenthal and Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. Gausman, 35, brings valuable experience to the Cubs, having made 14 postseason appearances with a 3.83 ERA, and is expected to bolster the team's playoff-caliber starting lineup. In return, the Blue Jays will send outfielder Brett Bateman and infielder Ty Southisene to the Cubs, though the latter two are considered relatively middling prospects.",
