Astros look close to trading Kyle Tucker to the Cubs. Seven divisional championships in the last eight years, two World Series wins and two more league pennants. With Tucker out and Bregman likely to leave via free agency, the Astros' dominant run may be over.

Trade is done. Cubs traded Isaac Paredes, Hayden Wesneski, and Cam Smith for Tucker.

Some fans are worried cause Tucker is opting for free agency after the season, but this is the shot in the arm the Cubs needed. Tucker is the best position player they've had since 2015-17 Kris Bryant. I'm ecstatic.

Had to be done. Once they traded for Tucker, there was no room for Cody. Cody was great his first year, but the production last year didn't match his contract. I imagine he'll pick it up and hit like gangbusters at Yankee Stadium. Very likable guy that's easy to root for.

Edit: I read that they are only on the hook for 2.5 million for this year and next year if Cody opts in with the Yankees. Earlier reports were saying the Yankees wanted them to pay 12 million of the salary, so this is huge and makes the trade an even one imo.

White Sox acquired LHP Cam Booser from the Red Sox for RHP Yhoiker Fajardo.
Diamondbacks acquired INF Josh Naylor from the Guardians for RHP Slade Cecconi and a Competitive Balance Round B selection.
Reds acquired C Jose Trevino from the Yankees for RHP Fernando Cruz and C Alex Jackson.

Getting the band back together: Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Guardians are signing Carlos Santana to a one-year deal for $12 million.

Phillies signed OF Max Kepler to a one-year, $10 million contract.
