The Chicago Cubs reportedly are bringing one of the game’s top outfielders to Wrigley Field.
Tucker, 27, has been an All-Star the past three years. He is eligible for free agency after this season.
A shin injury kept him out for half the season in 2024, but he still managed to hit 23 home runs.
Tucker had 29 homers and a league-leading 112 RBIs in 2023.
Passan reports the Cubs are expected to trade infielder/outfielder Cody Bellinger after acquiring Tucker.
Paredes is on the move again after being acquired by the Cubs in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2024. He hit 19 combined home runs for the season.
Smith was picked 14th overall in this year’s draft.
