Isaac Paredes was a bit of a disappointment following the surprising trade that brought him to Chicago in exchange for Christopher Morel, Hunter Bigge, and Ty Johnson, but the Cubs weren’t really counting on him to carry them into the postseason. I was somewhat skeptical of the deal at the time because it felt like a lateral move that saw the Cubs exchange higher ceilings for a higher floor, particularly when the player they acquired appeared to be a poor fit at Wrigley Field. While it’s a mild stretch to say I view Paredes with even cautious optimism, Jed Hoyer believes the third baseman will rebound.
