The Chicago Cubs are rolling out a new offensive weapon, signing All-Star right fielder Kyle Tucker in a deal with the Houston Astros on Friday. per multiple reports.

In return, the Astros are reportedly receiving three players: infielder Isaac Paredes, pitcher Hayden Wesneski and third baseman Cam Smith.

Tucker has played his entire career with the Astros, starting in 2018. He won a World Series with the team in 2022 and has earned a number of awards in recent seasons, including three All-Star selections, a Gold Glove ( 2022). and a Silver Slugger (2023). Tucker missed this season due to a right shin injury, but was still named to the All-Star selection for the third consecutive year.

In 2024, Tucker finished with a .289/.408/.585 slash line. The 27-year-old outfielder collected 80 hits, 49 RBIs and 23 home runs while grabbing 11 stolen bases.

Paredes, the 25-year-old infielder who is leading the Astros’ return, finished the season hitting .238 with 19 home runs. He started the season in Tampa but was traded to Chicago at the trade deadline. Paredes plays third and first base and will be a versatile infielder for the Astros. Houston will be Paredes’ fourth MLB team in his short career.

Wesneski, who has a career 3.93 ERA, made his MLB debut with Chicago in 2022. The right-handed pitcher was optioned to the minors at the start of the 2024 season.

Smith was Chicago’s first-round pick in the 2024 MLB Draft; the Cubs selected him 14th overall out of Florida State.

The Tucker trade will likely create a domino effect as the New York Yankees may look to make deals with both teams. The Yankees could opt to trade for Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger after Chicago signed another strong outfielder, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, and could also make a play for former Astro and free agent third baseman Alex Bregman.
