Jameson Taillon is excited to be a Cub

He obviously hasn't taken a good look at the roster yet

The Cubs introduced their new middle of the rotation sensation, Jameson Taillon, to the media Monday, and he sure knows how to play all of Marquee’s favorite hits.

Jameson Taillon's Chicago connections: - Mom went to Northwestern - Dad's first job out of college was in Chicago - Brother was born in Chicago - Girlfriend lived in Barrington for four years "A lot of connections, a lot of people that are really excited to see me go there."

Somewhere Taylor MacGregor was jotting down all of her new in-game interview ideas. I’m sure we’ll all get quality time with his dad, his girlfriend, his brother and, I guess, Willie the Wildcat?

Taillon said that what really tipped the scales in the Cubs’ favor was that they were the only team to meet him in person (and the $68 million) and he talked to some former teammates including Anthony Rizzo and Scott Effross who said great things about the Cubs (and the $68 million) and he even got the scoop from Richard Williams’ kid (and the $68 million).

Jameson Taillon said Cubs expressed genuine interest from beginning of FA. Taillon's 2-hour in-person meeting with asst GM/VP of pitching Craig Breslow & customized videos Cubs sent stood out. Anthony Rizzo, Scott Effross & Trevor Williams all spoke highly of org to Taillon too

Trevor was probably like, “You don’t even have to be good and they’ll interview your dad every time you start!”
