Taillon’s Time Is Running Out | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs are at a crossroads with their starting rotation, as veteran Jameson Taillon’s struggles—marked by a career-worst ERA over 5.8 and a troubling home run rate—force manager Craig Counsell to act before the trade deadline. With Taillon’s next start against the Yankees looming, the team is reportedly weighing whether to skip him and give rising arm Javier Assad a shot. While other pitchers like Boyd and Minagashi show promise, Taillon, along with David Peterson and Colin Ray, are all in question, with Ray’s ERA climbing above 4.75 and Peterson’s inconsistency—including a 10-run outing—making him unreliable. The pressure is mounting: Taillon’s performance can’t be ignored anymore. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
