Toronto Blue Jays pull off a low-risk gamble by acquiring struggling righty Jameson Taillon from the Cubs—sending just a player to be named later or cash. Though Taillon’s 2024 stats were rough (2-6, 5.92 ERA, tied for NL lead in homers), his 2023-24 form was solid (3.45 ERA) and playoff-worthy. The Jays hope a fresh start and their pitching staff can revive him—not as an ace, but as a reliable innings-eater, especially if they trade Gausman or Bieber before the deadline. His homer woes and hamstring issue may not fully explain his slump—and the Cubs couldn’t pin down a single cause either.
