Blue Jays Get Pitcher Jameson Taillon From Cubs in Trade for Player to Be Named Later
Toronto adds a veteran starter with a $68 million contract history as Chicago gets a player to be named later or cash considerations.
- On Sunday, the Toronto Blue Jays acquired 10-year veteran right-hander Jameson Taillon from the Chicago Cubs for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
- The 34-year-old right-hander struggled this season, posting a 5.92 ERA over 15 starts while allowing 25 home runs in 76 innings, prompting his designation for assignment on July 27.
- Signed to a four-year, $68 million contract in the 2022-23 offseason, Taillon is earning $18 million this year and has previously played for the Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Yankees, and Cubs.
- Despite being born in Florida, Taillon has deep ties to Canada, having represented the country at both the 2013 and 2026 World Baseball Classic with Canadian parents.
- In a corresponding roster move, the Blue Jays transferred infielder Lenyn Sosa to the 60-day injured list ahead of Monday's 6 p.m. ET trade deadline.
