MLB Trade Rumors: Kyle Tucker has been traded from the Houston Astros to the Chicago Cubs for Isaac Paredes, Cam Smith and Hayden Wesneski, per multiple reports.
Tucker, who was the Astros’ 27 year old right fielder and who is now the Cubs’ 27 year old right fielder, has been a consistent 5-6 win player for the last four years, and is entering his final year of team control before hitting the free agent market. The Astros, who appear to be losing Alex Bregman to free agency this offseason, decided they’d rather deal Tucker now instead of getting one more year and a draft pick out of him, so Tucker is now a Cub.
