The Chicago Cubs are not alone in needing roster improvements this offseason, as several National League teams, particularly the New York Mets, are expected to pursue top free agents.

Owner Steve Cohen is determined to build a competitive team, which could lead to the Cubs trading pitcher Jameson Taillon to New York. While there was interest in Taillon during the trade deadline, the Cubs remain undecided on their strategy.

Brandon Scott suggests Taillon as a potential trade candidate for the Mets, who may also seek mid-tier starters. Trading Taillon could help the Cubs financially, but finding a suitable deal with the Mets poses challenges.
