The Chicago Cubs added an All-Star hitter to their lineup as they attempt to stay in the National League wild-card playoff race.
Isaac Paredes is on his way to the Cubs from the Tampa Bay Rays, sources confirmed to Yahoo Sports. The third baseman is batting .247 with a .793 OPS, 16 home runs, 19 doubles and 55 RBI in 425 plate appearances this season.
With this trade, Paredes, 25, returns to the Cubs, who signed him as an amateur free agent out of Mexico in 2015.
