In a move similar to LeBron James’s infamous Decision, just without any of the pomp, the Palatine Pounder has left his hometown team and taken his talents to the South Side. And yes, I know it’s still the same town. Mike Tauchman grew up a Cubs fan and served as a nearly ideal fourth outfielder for two seasons before being non-tendered recently in favor of a little more roster flexibility, ostensibly for younger players. The 34-year-old should now have a chance to carve out a bigger role for a club that views 83 wins as a tremendous improvement rather than yet another disappointing campaign.
