I’ve been holding this piece up while the Astros and Cubs finalize the deal for Kyle Tucker, and now it’s done. Per Jeff Passan of ESPN, Tucker comes to Chicago for Isaac Paredes, Hayden Wesneski, and Cam Smith. I think we can all live with that trade and I expect Cody Bellinger to be dealt to the Yankees very soon. Evan has all the details on the Cubs-Astros trade, and now I can go back to envisioning a Cubs lineup with Tucker and Pete Alonso with a rotation that includes Dylan Cease or someone of similar ilk.
