I’m late to the party on this one because I was in a tattoo chair when the news broke, and now I’ll have to truncate it because I have to head out again. But that’s okay since you probably already know all the pertinent information. I’ll have more this evening breaking down some finer points of the deal and how Kyle Tucker makes so much sense for the Cubs whether it’s for one year or many more in the future.
Just for the sake of posterity, the Cubs and Astros agreed Friday afternoon on a trade that sends Tucker to Chicago in exchange for Isaac Paredes, Hayden Wesneski, and Cam Smith.
