2025 Fantasy Outlook
After a disappointing 2023 campaign in which he posted a career-worst 4.84 ERA, Taillon bounced back in his second season with the Cubs. The veteran righty lowered his ERA to 3.27 and also posted a 1.13 WHIP, down from 1.28 a year earlier. Taillon did this while losing a few ticks on his fastball, and he saw his K/9 drop to a career-worst 6.80 as well. It's an open question whether the 32-year-old will be able to sustain his strong results without missing more bats, and at this point in his career, it's unlikely that he dials his fastball up any more. Taillon missed a little time to begin the 2024 season with a back issue, though he was mostly healthy after he made his debut in mid-April. Heading into his age-33 season, Taillon carries some risk of showing increased wear and tear, and his diminished velocity is reason for a little concern as well. However, based on his 2024 output alone, Taillon carries fantasy appeal heading into this season despite no longer profiling as a staff ace at this point in his career. Read Past Outlooks

Fans seven in fourth win
Taillon (4-3) earned the win Monday against the Rockies, allowing one run on four hits and no walks over 6.1 innings. He struck out seven.
ANALYSIS
The Chicago right-hander took care of business against a Colorado lineup that entered the contest with a league-worst .220 team batting average. The only blemish on Taillon's performance was a solo homer yielded to Mickey Moniak in the fifth. Through 63 total innings, Taillon has pitched to a 3.86 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 51:12 K:BB. He is currently scheduled to make his next start against Cincinnati at home this weekend.

Fly ball pitchers can be successful provided they don't walk many hitters and punch them out at an above average clip. Taillon has never been dominant, but his low walk rate, and a low BABIP usually associated with a fly ball pitcher have helped him check in as a league average pitcher. Last season, things did not go as well as the Cubs hoped after they signed him to bolster their rotation. Taillon maintained a low walk rate, but his .292 BABIP was its highest since 2018. His 1.57 HR/9 was a new career worst. Granted his 4.84 ERA was about half a run higher than expected, but even so he was a disappointment. Taillon is embarking on the second season of a four-year, $68 million contract, so he'll be in the opening day rotation. Relying on a non-dominant fly ball pitcher is a slippery slope, which is why Taillon is best treated as a fantasy streaming option.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Mets check in
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Mets have touched base with the Cubs regarding a potential trade for Taillon.
ANALYSIS
Talks didn't appear to progress significantly, and there's no guarantee Taillon is moved since he's under contract for two more years after this season. However, the veteran right-hander is likely Chicago's most valuable trade chip in a sellers' market, so the club could end up getting an offer too good to turn down.
