Cubs to Sign Pitcher Jameson Taillon, per Report

Looking to build a roster that will get them back to the playoffs, the Cubs have reportedly added a key arm to their rotation for 2023 and beyond.

Chicago has reached an agreement with righthander Jameson Taillon, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan and Jesse Rogers. The deal is reportedly for four years and $68 million.

Taillon, 31, is coming off of two productive and healthy seasons with the Yankees. Since the start of the 2021 campaign, he’s 22–11 with a 4.08 ERA over 61 starts, developing into a dependable starter that the Cubs are in need of.
