The Toronto Blue Jays have acquired right-handed pitcher Jameson Taillon from the Chicago Cubs in a trade, according to multiple reports. The deal was announced on Sunday, with the Blue Jays sending cash considerations and a player to be named later in exchange for Taillon. This move adds Canadian talent to the Blue Jays' pitching rotation, as Taillon is from Toronto.
Taillon, a 28-year-old right-hander, has experience in the majors and has previously pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cubs. His addition is expected to provide depth to the Blue Jays' starting staff. The team also made a corresponding move by placing infielder Lenyn Sosa on the 60-day injured list.
The trade was confirmed by both teams, with the Blue Jays’ announcement citing the exchange of cash and a player to be named later. The Cubs did not immediately comment on the deal. The Blue Jays are looking to strengthen their roster ahead of the 2025 season. (toronto.citynews.ca)
