Trades are coming in fast and furious as the 2024 trade deadline inches closer, and while the baseball world thought the buyers and sellers were pretty clearly set, there always seems to be a team looking to shake things up.
The Chicago Cubs made the first surprising move of the trade deadline on Sunday, acquiring All-Star third baseman Isaac Paredes from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for third baseman Christopher Morel, right-hander RHP Hunter Bigge and prospect RHP Ty Johnson, sources confirmed to Yahoo Sports.
It’s no secret that the Cubs have disappointed this season.
