Taillon Designated, Cubs Move On | Chicago Cubs News
Description
The Cubs let go of Jameson Taillon after a brutal season marked by a 5.92 ERA and 25 homers in 76 innings, opting to rebuild their rotation for playoff contention. Despite his respected clubhouse presence and past flashes of brilliance, Taillon’s command and home run woes persisted even after a hamstring injury. Javier Assad steps in, and the Cubs eye trade deadline moves. Taillon’s career isn’t over—he’s shown he can adapt and deliver in key moments, but fixing his mechanics is crucial. Tough call for a player who meant a lot to the team, but baseball’s about performance, and the Cubs had to act.
