Inside ex-Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman's $6.8 million Toronto home

The former Blue Jays starting pitcher, Kevin Gausman, quietly listed his stunning Toronto mansion last week, and let's just say, life as a Major League Baseball pitcher certainly has its perks.

Located at 370 Glencairn Ave., the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home boasts nearly 5,000 square feet of living space, a private home theatre, a gym and a backyard with a hot tub and outdoor kitchen.

But perhaps the most interesting part of the listing isn't the house itself, it's how much Gausman stands to lose on the sale.

The living room. 

According to property records, Gausman purchased the home in March 2022 for $7.65 million, just a few months after signing his five-year, $110-million contract with the Blue Jays.

The open-concept kitchen and family room. 

Now, four and a half years later, he's asking $6,885,000, which is $765,000 less than he originally paid. And that's assuming he actually gets his asking price.

The living room and dining room are connected. 

Given the current state of Toronto's real estate market, it's not surprising, but it's still a significant potential loss, even for someone who has earned millions playing professional baseball.

Of course, the listing also comes just months after the Blue Jays traded Gausman to the Chicago Cubs at the 2026 trade deadline in exchange for outfielder Brett Bateman and infield prospect Ty Southisene.

The sunny dining room and living room. 

Despite making it clear that he didn't want to leave Toronto, Gausman had nothing but good things to say about the city and the team following the trade.

The butler's pantry off the main kitchen. 

He even called signing with the Blue Jays the best decision he'd ever made.

The powder room. 

But while he might always have a soft spot for Toronto, it appears he's ready to part ways with his Toronto real estate.

One of the bedrooms. 

And whoever buys the place is getting a pretty spectacular home.

The primary bedroom. 

Built in 2019, the mansion sits in Lytton Park, one of Toronto's most affluent residential neighbourhoods, where multimillion-dollar homes and sprawling properties are hardly unusual.

The family room. 

Still, 370 Glencairn Ave. manages to stand out.

The exterior of the house. 

From the street, the house is all understated luxury, with a natural limestone exterior, large windows and an imposing entrance that gives the whole place a rather grand appearance.

A home office. 

There's also a heated driveway, which is arguably one of the greatest luxuries you can have during a Toronto winter.

The foyer with built-in storage. 

Inside, the home is just as impressive.

The dining room with coffered ceilings. 

The main floor features expansive principal rooms, elegant finishes and plenty of space for entertaining.

The kitchen and breakfast nook. 

The kitchen is particularly impressive, with high-end appliances, ample counter space and a layout that opens directly into the family room.

The kitchen with integrated appliances. 

It's the kind of kitchen that looks like it was designed for someone who actually enjoys cooking, although with a house this size, you could probably just hire someone to do that for you.

The family room and walk-out to the backyard. 

The family room connects to the backyard, making the whole main floor feel open and inviting despite the home's rather enormous proportions.

The primary bedroom. 

Upstairs, the primary bedroom is essentially its own private retreat complete with a spa-like five-piece ensuite bathroom and an expansive walk-in closet.

Another bedroom. 

And while the primary suite might get top billing, the other bedrooms aren't exactly roughing it.

A bedroom with an ensuite. 

Each comes with its own ensuite bathroom, meaning nobody has to fight over the shower in the morning.

The second-floor lounge area. 

There's also a second-floor laundry room and a lounge area, which are the kinds of practical details that make a massive luxury home feel a little more livable.

But it's the lower level where things really start to get extravagant. Rather than your typical Toronto basement filled with old furniture and forgotten exercise equipment, this one is basically an entire entertainment complex.

The recreation room. 

There's a spacious recreation room complete with a wet bar, custom built-ins, an entertainment centre and a gas fireplace.

The home theatre. 

There's also a dedicated home theatre, perfect for watching movies or, presumably, replaying some of Gausman's greatest moments on the mound.

The gym. 

And because professional athletes tend to take their fitness pretty seriously, there's also a spacious home gym.

The basement bedroom. 

The lower level even includes a nanny suite, additional storage and a walkout to the backyard.

The backyard. 

The south-facing outdoor space features a large stone patio, an outdoor kitchen and a hot tub, making it an ideal spot for entertaining during Toronto's warmer months.

The patio. 

Despite feeling like a private retreat, the property is still close to local restaurants, boutiques, parks and some of the city's most sought-after schools.

The backyard. 

Of course, at nearly $6.9 million, this isn't exactly a home for your average Blue Jays fan.

The primary bedroom walk-in closet. 

Considering Gausman paid $7.65 million for it just a few years ago, though, whoever buys the place could end up getting a relative bargain.

The foyer. 

Whether the former pitcher manages to find a buyer willing to pay his asking price remains to be seen.

The back of the house. 

One thing's for sure, though: Gausman might be leaving Toronto behind, but he's certainly leaving behind one heck of a house.
