Chicago Cubs fans were appropriately elated when they heard the news this past December that the Cubs had acquired Houston Astros’ all-star right fielder Kyle Tucker.

The Chicago Cubs and their fans have not even gotten to see superstar trade acquisition Kyle Tucker play a game for the club yet.

The Chicago Cubs have had a very active offseason as they look to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2020. In December, the Cubs pulled off a blockbuster trade, acquiring three-time All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker from the Houston Astros in exchange for All-Star infielder Isaac Paredes and two top prospects: 2024 first-round pick Cam Smith and pitcher Hayden Wesneski.

The Chicago Cubs, even with just days to go until pitchers and catchers report to Arizona, still have some roster intrigue boiling over. Notably, there’s a question mark at third base, which may or may not be addressed with the addition of free agent Alex Bregman.

The Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees could come together to make a blockbuster trade that benefits both parties.
