Kevin Galsman, the 35-year-old right-handed pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, is thinking

about his future but isn't ready to leave the team.

He's entering what might be the later part of his career, yet he wants to keep pitching

for Toronto after this season.

Galsman has been several years with the Jays and appreciates how the organization has grown.

He enjoys the city and has watched his kids grow up there.

Plus, he's seen manager John Schneider develop into a strong leader.

Last season, Galsman posted a solid 3.59 earned run average, showing he can still perform

at a high level.

As a free agent after the current campaign, a short-term deal could make sense for both

sides.

The Blue Jays faced tough competition in the American League East, so keeping experienced

arms like Galsman helps their chances this year.

Talks about an extension might come later if the team stays in the playoff hunt.

For now, Galsman and the Jays are focused on winning games and building momentum, heading

into the off season.
