Jameson Taillon Faces Uncertain Future as Cubs Weigh Trade Options
With the trade deadline looming, Taillon's potential move is complicated by his no-trade clause and the Cubs' ambiguous stance.
- Taillon has not been asked to approve any trades yet, despite interest from teams like the Yankees and Red Sox.
- Cubs manager Craig Counsell confirmed Taillon would start as scheduled, indicating no immediate trade plans.
- Taillon's performance has been strong overall, making him a valuable asset for potential postseason contenders.
- The Cubs acquired Nate Pearson and Isaac Paredes in recent trades, signaling a focus on long-term gains.
