After a supremely disappointing campaign last year, the team did not waste any time <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cubs-news-chicago-cody-bellinger-on-same-page-heading-into-2023-season" rel="noopener">revamping their roster</a>. Their biggest acquisitions were names like Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson, Los Angeles Dodgers OF Cody Bellinger, and New York Yankees RHP Jameson Taillon.</p><p>However, one of these guys very nearly went in a completely opposite direction. Before joining the Cubs, Jameson Taillon <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/02/25/cubs-jameson-taillon-believed-he-was-going-to-mets-as-free-agent/" rel="noopener">revealed</a> that he thought that that he would be joining the Mets, per Jon Heyman. The right-handed pitcher would’ve been an awesome acquisition for the Mets (and double points for stealing one from the darn Yankees!). However, things did not go so well for the team in Queens.</p><p>“I thought I was going to be a Met for a while,” Taillon revealed at Cubs camp.</p><p>Taillon also talked about what was the deciding factor in his decision to join the Cubs. The pitcher was happy with the way Chicago seemed to prioritize him and was completely transparent with him in negotiations.</p><p>“The Cubs made it clear from day one I was a top priority,” Taillon said. “If you can nerd-out and talk pitching with me, that really works for me. They showed me a good plan. It’s been exciting.”</p><p>Teams like the Cubs today are following the same formula for success that the Dodgers, Astros, and Mets have employed. It’s certainly refreshing for fans to see that the team actually cares about trying to build a contender (unlike one of their division rivals) and is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cubs-riskiest-mlb-offseason-move" rel="noopener">willing to spend</a> to do that. Now, the only thing left to do is to execute on the field.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Last season, the Cubs were just 16th in the big leagues in starters ERA (3.95), 23rd in starters FIP (4.35), and only 24th in starters fWAR (7.7). Taillon should help raise the floor and elevate the ceiling of the Cubs’ starting rotation. In his final season with the Yankees, Taillon went 14-5 with a 3.91 ERA and a 3.94 FIP to go with a .276 BABIP. He also allowed just 1.62 walks per nine innings, which was his best since his first year in the majors with the Pittsburgh Pirates back in 2016.</p><p>Adding Taillon also comes with a considerable injury risk, as he’s already had two Tommy John surgeries. That said, he’s been healthy for the most part of the last couple of seasons, so the Cubs are merely hoping that his body will hold up for at least the duration of his contract.</p><p>As for his former team, Taillon is a significant loss for the Yankees’ rotation which got solid numbers from him in 2022. Over the course of two seasons with the Yankees, Taillon went 22-11  in 61 appearances (all starts) and posted a 4.08 ERA while also lining up a <a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/taillja01.shtml" rel="noopener">100 ERA+</a>.</p><p>Taillon was taken by the Pirates in the first round (second overall) of the 2010 MLB Draft.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After winning 99 games and making it as far as the ALCS, the Yankees are facing incredible uncertainty in free agency, especially with 2022 AL MVP Aaron Judge. Judge, who was responsible for carrying New York’s offense during the regular season after hitting an incredible 62 long balls, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-new-york-holding-hope-amid-aaron-judge-giants-link" rel="noopener">is a legitimate flight risk</a>, as the San Francisco Giants, among other teams, are upping the ante in their pursuit of the 6’7 slugger. But Judge may not be the only one in danger of leaving the Yankees.</p><p>Starting pitcher Jameson Taillon, who made 32 starts last season for the Yankees, tallying a 3.91 ERA in 177.1 innings, could also leave the confines of Yankee Stadium. Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Chicago Cubs <a href="https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/1600345687744389121" rel="noopener">are in hot pursuit</a> of Taillon, which could further complicate what’s already shaping up to be a challenging offseason for the Yankees.</p><p>Jameson Taillon was second in the Yankees in total innings pitched, so his loss would leave a huge gap in New York’s starting rotation. Meanwhile the Cubs will definitely welcome a workhorse such as Taillon. Marcus Stroman ended up leading the Cubs in innings pitched with just 138.2, making acquiring someone who can soak up tons of innings a priority for Chicago as they look to make their way back to contention.</p><p>Nonetheless, it seems as if Taillon is in love with the Yankees organization, if his past words are anything to go by. Following their ALCS loss to the Houston Astros, the 31-year old <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-jameson-taillon-speaks-out-on-new-york-future-after-alcs-loss-to-astros" rel="noopener">expressed his love</a> for the franchise, thanking them for taking a chance on him when he was out injured. It remains to be seen, however, if the Yankees pony up the requisite cash to retain Taillon.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

One of the players who is set to hit the open market is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-gerrit-cole-jameson-taillon-combine-for-epic-feat-mlb-hasnt-seen-in-61-years/">veteran starting pitcher</a> Jameson Taillon. <a href="https://www.nj.com/yankees/2022/10/yankees-jameson-taillon-on-if-he-wants-to-return-in-free-agency.html">Via NJ.com</a>, Taillon opened up on whether he’d be interested in returning to New York this offseason.</p><p>“I haven’t thought about it a ton but I definitely know I loved playing here,” Taillon said after the Game 4 loss. “They took a chance on me coming back from rehab and elbow surgery and all that stuff. To get to come here, I had never experienced the playoffs, never experienced a winning environment and culture. So, I felt like I didn’t take a day for granted, showing up and putting the pinstripes on.”</p><p>After undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2019 while with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Taillon missed most of that year as well as the entire 2020 campaign. The Yankees acquired him in 2021, and he’s spent the past two years in the Bronx.</p><p>The 30-year-old posted a 22-11 record across two seasons with the Yankees. He started 61 games and logged a 4.16 ERA across a total of 321.2 innings while striking out 291 batters in that span. The 177.1 innings he pitched this season were the most since before his elbow surgery, and his 3.91 ERA was the best of his two-year stint with the Yankees.</p><p>A reunion in the Bronx could certainly benefit both parties heading into the 2023 MLB season, but it remains to be seen exactly how Brian Cashman and Co. plan to approach the looming offseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
