2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Taillon tied his career high with 32 starts while logging 177.1 innings, his second most ever. His strikeout rate dropped, but Taillon compensated with a 4.4% walk rate, its lowest since his rookie season. For the second straight year, a high number of flyballs led to an above average flyball rate, but the low walk rate along with the resultant low BABIP minimized damage. Taillon tweaks his pitch mix every year, reintroducing a cutter to increase his arsenal to six pitches. Taillon's two best offerings are a curve and slider, but he backed off usage of both, perhaps due to being a two-time Tommy John surgery recoveree. Unless Taillon is comfortable reworking his repertoire another year removed from going under the knife in 2019, home runs will remain an issue, although he gets a modest park upgrade after signing a four-year deal with the Cubs. His low strikeout rate is more akin to a fantasy streamer than staff anchor.

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.
