This is the type of pitcher he, as well as the Cubs, expected when he signed as a free agent a year and a half ago. However, his first year on the North Side did not go according to plan. In his first 14 starts of the 2023 season, he posted a 6.93 ERA, although he did manage to close out the year with a remarkable performance.
“Yeah, those moments are unbelievable,” he said. “They’re memories you’ll never forget. Someday I’ll have the opportunity to tell my kids about it. All the effort…it’s rewarding to make people happy and be recognized for it.”“On the other hand, even during the difficult times last year, what I think is more important than any ovation is that I never heard anyone on the street criticize me or feel like I was being booed. Things didn’t get out of hand in that sense. So I have a lot of respect for the fans and what they represent,” Taillon explained.“Because if you show up day in and day out, and you’re getting booed, and you’re dealing with your own issues, it could get even more complicated. But just having their support has helped me move forward and get to where I am,” the pitcher said.

“I’m having a great time here,” Taillon said. “Every day it’s a pleasure to come. There’s a great group of guys. As we’ve mentioned several times, I think we should be in a better position than we are. However, so far we haven’t gotten the results we want, and those results speak louder than anything we can say.”“I would love to continue here. I chose to come to Chicago and be a Cub. So this is where I want to be.”
