Astros' Isaac Paredes: Headed to Houston
The Houston Astros acquired Isaac Paredes, Hayden Wesneski and Cam Smith from the Cubs on Friday in exchange for Kyle Tucker, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.The Astros reportedly tried to get Paredes at last season's trade deadline, but they've now got their man after his pit stop in Chicago. Paredes slashed a pedestrian .238/.346/.393 with 19 home runs in 2024 between the Rays and Cubs, but his pull-heavy swing is perfect for the Crawford Boxes at his new home park, giving him a good chance to bounce back in the power department in 2025. Currently, Paredes would be in line to play third base for the Astros, at least until he gets pushed by Smith -- the 14th overall pick in the 2024 Draft -- but he could shift over to first base if the club also re-signs Alex Bregman.

Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Collects four hits, stolen base
Isaac Paredes went 4-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-6 loss to the Phillies.Paredes collected his first four-hit game of the season along with his first stolen base. The 25-year-old isn't known for his speed, as he now has just two career MLB steals, but he is only one long ball shy of reaching the 20-homer plateau for the third straight year. Heading into 2025, Paredes should continue to derive much of his fantasy value from his ability to hit with power.

Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Tallies three hits in loss
Isaac Paredes went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Rockies.All three hits were singles but Paredes will take all the base knocks he can get after starting slowly with his new team. The infielder is heating up lately, however, as he's now riding a five-game hitting streak. During the stretch, Paredes is batting a sizzling .529 with a 1.134 OPS. It looks like the 25-year-old is turning a corner in a Chicago uniform and could be primed for a big final few weeks of the regular season.

Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Lifts offense in return
Isaac Paredes went 1-for-3 with two RBI in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Yankees.After getting a breather Saturday, Paredes returned on Sunday and keyed the offense with a two-RBI single in the first inning, which was enough for the win in the pitchers' duel. Paredes is still scuffling a bit, however, as he's batting just .207 over his last 10 games and is hitting .167 in 35 games overall with the Chicago Cubs since coming over in a trade. Despite the struggles, the 25-year-old should remain locked into an everyday role.
