As a Dodgers Fan. I’m so happy he went to an iconic franchise like the Cubs. I love Wrigley Field and Cubs fans deserve a superstar. Looking forward to this match up.
Tucker last season had a .353 OBP and .585 SLG. Last season, he played in only 78 games, but playing full seasons in the previous two year, he was a 100+ RBI-man. Sign him to a multi-year contract now! One year is not enough.
Cubs now need a closer and a few more bullpen arms and they will playing very meaningful games in October. The biggest weakness was bullpen 31 blown saves compared to good teams around 15
If you come to think about it... Jed last year traded Morel for Paredes as a 2025 improvement move.. and now he Flipped Paredes and prospects for Tucker... sounds like a Win project for Jed! It like flipping a honda civic for a Cadillac Escalade
Dana Brown never said Kyle Tucker would be "an Astro for life." He said it about Altuve and then Bregman but never "for life" comment was made about Tucker.
As an Astros fan, I like this move. The Astros were only getting Comp Picks for letting the superstars walk. Need to get more than that for Tucker. Paredes is going to do well in Houston. Cam Smith is the future. Hayden Wesneski might end up being the 5th starter for the Astros. Appears to be a fair trade, overall.
Puts the Cubs clearly at the top of the NL Central and in baseball, just get in the playoffs. Anything can happen. Just look at the Tigers last year and D-Backs before that. Anyone in the playoffs in baseball is a contender
How can you be a 5 tool player with below average speed? That term gets thrown around way too much. Speed, hit for power, hit for contact, great fielding and finally and strong arm.
Houston likely screwed themselves over by spiting the yankees . How can i be pissed at that? I would never trade a roy pitcher for a one year rental anyway
Does this mean Belli and Suzuki are getting moved? Belli is making too much money, and Suzuki saying he wants to be an everyday outfileder on a team with Tucker/Happ/PCA isn't realistic
I really like this for both sides. Obviously sucks for Houston to lose him but he was not signing back there with their restrictions on contract years that they'll dish out. Paredes WILL RAKE in H-Town too
Great move by the Cubs. And I'm not a Cubs fan, just making an observation. On the other hand, it looks to me like the Astros are giving up. Their management must think their window of dominance is closing and it's time to retool.
The Cubs just fleeced the Astros with this deal. Only gave up Paredes, Wesneski and their first round pick. Didnt have to have give up Suzuki (of course... only if they sign him to an extension)
King Tuck is the bomb. As a Yankees fan in Houston, I am bummed out we didn’t get him.
Outstanding News. Can’t Believe My Cubs Got Him
A rental player 😂😂😂😂😂
Of course, never said he was not.

Yankees wanted Tucker to share a suite with Fat Joe
He’ll be a Yankee in 26
lol 😂😂
Horrific move for Houston, I hope I'm wrong but idk if they can replace Tucker
You gotta hope there's more to come, as a Cubs fan it feels closer to spring training now!

2:29 lmao this is how teams get into contention by acquiring a star player. This is such a lazy thought

Great move Cubs and not having to give up Shaw or Horton is great.

Feels like they have a deal lined up for belli to nyy. With this tucker deal done id think that's the next domino that falls

I’m so sad to see Tucker leave we got a lot but he is not a guy you can just replace

I totally agree living in Houston a lot of folks are mad lol but now time to sell some auto cards get some money
Astros fans should be livid . Their gm turned down a much better offer from the yankees
Yankee Doodle
Hell yeah!! Good move Jed!
Dude on left wearing the hat look hella funny wearing a hat lmao
He always wear a hat rookie bihh
@ what’s a bihh you mean bish dumdass lmao I’m only 7 years old

Hasn’t it already been reported he isn’t signing an extension. After Soto, why would he?
Not a fan of the Cubs or astros but… AWESOME!
Hopefully this is to trade him to the Yankees. Maybe Houston wouldn't deal with the yankees
You what. Are you stupid 😂
Huge deal
Cubs keeping Belli now
There will be garbage he’s a rental player😂😂😂😂😂
probably going to the yankees.
Astros win this trade we gave up to much for tucker
Nah , the astros are the losers , yankees offer was much better
