CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs’ upgrades at the winter meetings aren’t stopping in center field.
Right-hander Jameson Taillon reached an agreement with the team Tuesday, a source confirmed to the Chicago Tribune. The deal reportedly is for $68 million over four years.
The Cubs needed to find upper-tier pitching to strengthen a rotation that for stretches carried the team last season. He pairs well with right-gander Marcus Stroman at the top of the rotation.
