Mike Tauchman reaching over the fence for a long fly ball during the week leading up to the trade deadline was a familiar sight.
Back in 2023, when the Cubs were teetering on the buy-sell bubble, his game-saving home run robbery of the Cardinals’ Alec Burleson at Busch Stadium pushed the Cubs into adding at the trade deadline.
On Saturday, Tauchman was manning right field for the White Sox when Cubs switch-hitter Ian Happ hit a long fly ball his way. Tauchman leaped and extended his glove over the wall.
