Cubs Need Pitching Fix Before Deadline | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs’ offense is firing on all cylinders, but their pitching woes—especially with shaky starter Jameson Taillon—are threatening their playoff dreams. With key arms like Steele and Horton sidelined and rookie Ben Brown untested in October, the rotation looks dangerously thin. Taillon’s recent collapse, after a promising October last year, demands action. A trade for elite pitcher Tarik Skubal could transform the rotation and give the Cubs a real shot at a deep run—if they’re willing to make bold moves now.

Taillon Designated, Cubs Move On | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs let go of Jameson Taillon after a brutal season marked by a 5.92 ERA and 25 homers in 76 innings, opting to rebuild their rotation for playoff contention. Despite his respected clubhouse presence and past flashes of brilliance, Taillon’s command and home run woes persisted even after a hamstring injury. Javier Assad steps in, and the Cubs eye trade deadline moves. Taillon’s career isn’t over—he’s shown he can adapt and deliver in key moments, but fixing his mechanics is crucial. Tough call for a player who meant a lot to the team, but baseball’s about performance, and the Cubs had to act. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Shaw’s Injury Slows Cubs Trade Plans | Chicago Cubs News

Matt Shaw’s wrist sprain is sidelining him longer than expected, delaying his return before the August 3 trade deadline. Despite hitting .246 with a .737 OPS against lefties in 56 games, the Cubs’ top prospect is still dealing with inflammation and won’t be back soon. His versatility—playing both infield and outfield—has made him valuable, but his injury complicates trade talks. Teams may undervalue him due to his IL status, making a deal less likely. The Cubs might hold onto him, as selling low on a player with this much upside doesn’t make sense. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
