The Chicago Cubs trade veteran right-handed pitcher Jameson Taillon to the Toronto Blue Jays. Multiple reports say the move follows the Cubs’ decision to designate Taillon for assignment earlier in the week, and it is framed as part of a rotation reset for Chicago after a difficult stretch. Toronto acquires Taillon in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations, according to the Blue Jays’ announcement reported by City News Toronto.
In a corresponding roster move, Toronto places infielder Lenyn Sosa on the 60-day injured list. The reported transactions indicate both teams are adjusting their pitching and roster availability while completing the Taillon trade.
All accounts describe Taillon as a veteran starter changing organizations, with Toronto adding depth to its rotation and Chicago moving on after handling Taillon through the DFA process.
