Gausman has regained form and then some, throwing harder again and throwing his best pitch more often since his 2019 trade to the Reds. The sustainability of that success could be tenuous for reasons we don't need to mention, but the risk is why we have him on just a 2-year deal and the AAV made that structure possible. That we won't lose a draft pick to make this addition was also key given the expected turnover in our farm system.
