Player Outlook
After a breakout 2023 with Tampa Bay and a good start to 2024, Isaac Paredes was shipped to the Cubs over the summer prior to the trade deadline. The move returned him to the team that drafted him back in 2015, though he never actually played for Chicago during that previous stint, as he was traded to Detroit as a prospect in 2018. Paredes struggled a bit initially in his debut for the Cubs, and his OPS across 52 games with his new team was just .632, compared to the .792 OPS he posted in 101 games for the Rays. Still just 25 years old, Paredes should be able to get back on track in 2025. He popped 20 home runs and recorded a .739 OPS as a 23-year-old back in 2022, then followed that up with 31 long balls and an .840 OPS a year later. Paredes also tallied an impressive 98 RBI during that 2023 campaign. The young infielder is just a .232 career hitter and may never make huge strides there, but he's already displayed good power potential at the MLB level, and that's where he should be able to once again make his mark in 2025. Being traded to Houston should allow Paredes to boost his power numbers since he's a pull hitter that will now have the advantage of the Crawford Boxes.

  • Astros' Isaac Paredes: Opening season in No. 2 spot

    Rotowire
    Manager Joe Espada announced Monday that Paredes will hit out of the second spot in the batting order to begin the season, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Paredes has seen opportunities to show what he can do out of the No. 2 spot in camp, and the Astros have evidently liked what they've seen. Despite batting .188 in 32 at-bats, Paredes drew nine walks this spring, ultimately earning himself the opportunity to further establish himself in the second spot in the order if he continues to get on base.

  • Astros' Isaac Paredes: Could hit second

    Rotowire
    Paredes hit second and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. After the game manager Joe Espada indicated that the Astros could open the season with Paredes hitting second in the order, in between Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez. The appeal for the team is Paredes' walk rate, which is 11 percent for his career. If that position becomes permanent, Paredes would be in a good position to top his career high of 71 runs scored in a season.

  • Astros' Isaac Paredes: Settles with Houston

    Rotowire
    Paredes agreed to a one-year, $6.625 million contract with the Astros on Thursday, avoiding arbitration, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports. Paredes slashed just .223/.325/.307 over 212 plate appearances after being dealt to the Cubs at last year's trade deadline. Despite his poor end to the season, he'll receive a $3.225 million raise from the Astros, who are expected to use the 25-year-old regularly at third base.

  • Astros' Isaac Paredes: Headed to Houston

    Rotowire
    The Astros acquired 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: Resting Saturday

    Rotowire
    Paredes isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds. Paredes will catch a breather Saturday after going 6-for-16 with an RBI and two runs scored across his last four games. Patrick Wisdom will pick up a start at the hot corner and bat eighth.

  • Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Doubles, scores in loss

    Rotowire
    Paredes went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Phillies. Paredes snapped an 0-for-13 slump that stretched across his last five games with the two hits Monday. The 25-year-old has shown flashes of promise since joining the Cubs via trade in late July, but his performance overall has been disappointing. In 47 games with Chicago, Paredes is batting just .216 with a .634 OPS. He had a .792 OPS in 101 games with Tampa Bay before the trade.

  • Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Good to go Sunday

    Rotowire
    Paredes (wrist) will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Nationals. Paredes missed out on starts in the last two games due to a left wrist contusion, but he'll be good to go for the series finale. The third baseman carries a .281/.371/.298 slash line for the month heading into Sunday's contest.

  • Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Scratched with bruised wrist

    Rotowire
    Paredes was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Nationals due to a left wrist contusion, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports. Paredes was hit in the left hand/wrist during Thursday's contest and also sat down Friday, though this is the first time the Cubs have specified his absence as injury-related. He'll take another day to recover while Luis Vazquez enters the lineup at third base, batting ninth.

  • Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Sitting out Friday

    Rotowire
    Paredes is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals. Paredes was spiked on the left hand in the third inning of Thursday's win over the Nationals. He stayed in and finished the game, but it's possible he's feeling the after effects and that's why he's absent from Friday's lineup. Patrick Wisdom is filling in at third base for the Cubs.

  • Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Tallies three more hits Monday

    Rotowire
    Paredes went 3-for-4 with two RBI in Monday's 9-2 win over the Athletics. For the second time in his last four games, Paredes recorded three hits. The infielder is batting a robust .483 over his last eight contests, and it looks like he's settling in with the Cubs after struggling initially following the trade that brought him to Chicago in July. Paredes has become a key cog in his new team's offensive attack lately.

  • Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Tallies three hits in loss

    Rotowire
    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

    Rotowire
    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 Cubs since coming over in a trade. Despite the struggles, the 25-year-old should remain locked into an everyday role.

  • Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Getting breather Saturday

    Rotowire
    Paredes isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees. After going 0-for-13 with six strikeouts over his last four games, Paredes will get a chance to regroup while Patrick Wisdom covers third base, batting eighth.

  • Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Drives in three Sunday

    Rotowire
    Paredes went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's 14-1 win over the Nationals. Paredes collected two of the team's 18 hits in the easy victory. The infielder has been struggling overall with his new team, batting just .184 with a .608 OPS across 29 games in Chicago, though he is riding a four-game hitting streak during which he's gone 5-for-12. Paredes will continue to see regular playing time as he looks to build up further momentum with the Cubs.

  • Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Goes deep in easy win

    Rotowire
    Paredes went 2-for-5 with a walk, a home run, two additional runs scored and two total RBI in Monday's 18-8 win over the Pirates. Paredes helped pile on to the rout, launching his 19th home run of the season in the eighth inning. The 25-year-old has recorded three of those long balls in 24 games for the Cubs since coming over in a late July trade, and he's batting .161 for his new team. That's not exactly what fantasy managers had in mind, but Paredes should continue to see regular playing time, and he has the talent to turn things around in a hurry.

  • Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Sitting in series finale

    Rotowire
    Paredes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins. Paredes was withheld from the lineup last Sunday versus the Blue Jays due to shoulder discomfort, but he returned to start each of Chicago's' last five games while going 3-for-22 at the plate. The Cubs haven't suggested that he's still being nagged by the shoulder, so Paredes' absence for the series finale in Miami is likely just a maintenance day.

  • Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Goes deep again Friday

    Rotowire
    Paredes went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-6 win over the White Sox. Paredes teed off for his second home run in his last three games and 18th of the season. The infielder got off to a bit of a slow start after getting traded to the Cubs at the end of the July, but in those last three contests, he's gone 4-for-11 with the two long balls and seven total RBI. Paredes was having a solid season in Tampa Bay before the trade, and if he can sustain his recent level of play, a big finish could be in store with his new team.

  • Cubs' Isaac Paredes: Dealt to North Siders

    Rotowire
    The Cubs acquired Paredes from the Rays on Sunday in exchange for third baseman Christopher Morel and right-handers Hunter Bigge and Ty Johnson, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports. Tampa Bay continues to move key parts ahead of Tuesday's deadline, with Paredes joining Randy Arozarena, Zach Eflin, Jason Adam and Aaron Civale as major departures via trade. The Cubs were thought to be deadline buyers, but Paredes isn't a rental player, as he comes with three years of team control after 2024. He has a 245/.357/.435 slash line with 16 home runs and 55 RBI through 101 games this season and should take over the starting job at third base in Chicago.

  • Rays' Isaac Paredes: Plates four in rout

    Rotowire
    Paredes went 2-for-5 with a walk, a double, four RBI and two runs during Thursday's 13-0 win over the Blue Jays. Paredes had gone hitless in six of his previous seven starts but snapped out of the cold spell with Thursday's multi-hit performance. His four RBI marked a season high, bringing his 2024 total to 55. Through 416 plate appearances, Paredes is slashing .250/.353/.444 with 16 home runs.

  • Rays' Isaac Paredes: Homers in win

    Rotowire
    Paredes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-1 win over the Yankees. Paredes homered to lead off the fifth inning and then walked and scored a run in the seventh. The 25-year-old has gone hitless in eight of 14 July contests but has still managed three homers and eight RBI despite his struggles. On the year, he's batting .258 with 16 home runs, 51 RBI and 38 runs scored across 394 plate appearances.
