With 25 homers allowed this season (tied for second-most in MLB), his confidence is shattered and he admits he’s hurting the team.

Taillon, in his final contract year and with the trade deadline looming, knows his spot is on the line. Despite his playoff clutchness and clubhouse value, performance is king. The Cubs are eyeing bullpen moves or trades, and with another pitcher set to return in August, Taillon’s future is uncertain. Pitching coach Tommy Hottovy blames inconsistent command and falling behind in counts. Taillon’s got to turn it around fast—or risk being benched.
