Chicago Cubs veteran has actually become a low-key team MVP
The Chicago Cubs have had a successful 2025 season so far, leading the NL Central Division with a powerful offense and a strong bullpen. However, they have faced challenges with their starting pitching rotation due to multiple injuries. Amidst this, veteran Jameson Taillon has emerged as a crucial player, delivering consistent quality starts and crucial wins for the team.
With 60% of their starting rotation sidelined, Taillon’s reliability has been instrumental in stabilizing the team’s pitching staff. His leadership on and off the field has earned him respect from teammates and coaches alike. Taillon’s performance mirrors that of former Cubs’ leader Jon Lester, showcasing both skill and mentorship qualities.
If Taillon maintains his current form, and with the return of injured players and potential trade acquisitions, the Cubs are poised for a successful postseason campaign. Taillon’s contribution has been invaluable in a challenging season, setting the stage for a promising playoff run.
