Cubs' Kyle Tucker: Joins Cubs via trade
The Chicago Cubs acquired Kyle Tucker from the Astros on Friday in exchange for Isaac Paredes, Hayden Wesneski and Cam Smith, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.Whispers of Tucker being available surfaced just a few days ago, and a deal came together quickly. Tucker has blossomed into one of the game's best players, slashing .289/.408/.585 during an injury-shortened 2024 regular season. He will turn 28 in January and is slated to reach free agency next winter, but given the price they paid to acquire him, the Cubs will presumably attempt to lock him up with a long-term contract extension.
