The Chicago Cubs are acquiring star outfielder Kyle Tucker in a trade with the Houston Astros, according to multiple reports Friday.
In return, the Astros will send a package that includes infielder Isaac Paredes, with right-handed pitcher Hayden Wesneski and third-base prospect Cam Smith also in the mix, according to The Athletic.
Tucker, 27, batted .289 with 23 home runs and 49 RBIs in 78 games this season.
An All-Star in each of the past three seasons, Tucker missed three-plus months this season with a small fracture in his right shin from fouling a ball off it in early June.
In 615 career games for Houston since making his debut in 2018, Tucker is a career .272 hitter with 121 homers, 133 doubles and 408 RBIs.
