In DFA’ing one of the most respected players in their clubhouse, the Cubs put sentiment aside and focused on bottom-line production in the heat of a pennant race. On the Taillon decision, The Athletic’s Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney offer behind-the-scenes reporting and reactions from the locker room. With a different roster crunch looming, who are the Cubs counting on to get healthy, and what does that mean for the trade deadline? Plus thoughts on the young players who could be on the move as Jed Hoyer’s front office searches for more pitching.
