A day prior to the 2025 Chicago Cubs Convention, out fielder Kyle Tucker and the team agreed to 1-year deal worth 16.5 million dollars on his birthday.
The Cubs made a huge trade for Tucker in December via trade in exchange for infielder Isaac Paredes, pitcher Hayden Wesneski and prospect Cam Smith.
According to MLB.com, Tucker, 27, batted .289 (80×277) with 13 doubles, 23 home runs, 49 RBI, 11 stolen bases and a .993 OPS in 78 games. In seven seasons with the Astros, Tucker batted .274 (615×2241) with 135 doubles, 16 triples, 94 stolen bases, 125 home runs, 417 RBI and a .870 OPS (.353 OBP / .516 SLG).
The 27-year-old is a 2022 World Series Champion, a three-time All-Star (2022-24), one-time Gold Glove Award winner (2022) and a one-time Silver Slugger Award winner (2023), said an MLB.com press release.
The team avoided arbitration with Tucker after the two sides exchanged numbers last week.
