Why?
Because he had Tommy John Surgery!
What is Tommy John Surgery?
UCL reconstruction is a surgery commonly used to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament inside the elbow by replacing it with a tendon from elsewhere in the body. The goal of the surgery is to stabilize the elbow, reduce or eliminate pain and restore stability and range of motion. This procedure was introduced and first performed by Frank Jobe, M.D., on baseball pitcher Tommy John in 1974—hence the colloquial name Tommy John surgery.

Then, Jameson Taillon would got traded to New York where he would be reunited with former Pittsburgh pitcher and teammate Gerrit Cole as New York traded four prospects to Pittsburgh for him.
During the offseason Jameson Taillon had this to say about being reunited with Gerrit Cole.
Dude I want to run it back with you .” Taillon told mlb.com.
I’m at a different place in my life . You’re in a different place in your life .
We never got that full chance to do it together.” It’s crazy how the world, and the baseball world specifically works. But we now have that chance.”
