| Jameson Taillon plans to use more four-seamers up in the zone and reduce the usage of his sinker. Corbin Young Sat, Feb 20th | Blue Jays top prospect has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 groin strain. Brendan Tuma - Too Much Tuma Thu, Mar 4th | |

| Jameson Taillon is rumored to be in trade talks, with the Yankees the leading candidate. Carmen Maiorano - Carm's Clubhouse Sun, Jan 24th | ||
| Notes | ||
| Taillon has undergone Tommy John surgery twice, and has totaled just 37 1/3 innings over the last two years. And really, he's had only one truly notable year, which was in 2018. But what separated Taillon that year was his outstanding slider, which not only performed exceedingly well, but also buoyed the effectiveness of the rest of his pitches. Now with the Yankees, Taillon has plenty of upside. But, as always, health remains the concern, and is the reason you shouldn't draft him until you've filled out most of your staff. Dan Harris - FantasyPros | Pearson gained a ton of buzz early in spring training last year, but wound up pitching just 18 innings overall while battling elbow soreness. The stuff is there, without question. His fastball reaches triple digits, his slider is dominant, and his curveball and changeup are far above average. There's always a bit more uncertainty with young power pitchers, particularly when they've had elbow injuries like Pearson has. And, after trading for Steven Matz, the Blue Jays have plenty of rotation depth and shouldn't feel pressured into putting Pearson into their rotation if he struggles in the spring. But the capital necessary to acquire him is minimal, and there are few pitchers who match his upside, making him a fine, late-round dart throw. Dan Harris - FantasyPros | |
