Chicago Cubs Acquire Infielder Isaac Paredes

Paredes Adds Power to Struggling Cubs Lineup

After a disappointing start to the season, the Chicago Cubs have made a move to bolster their offense, acquiring infielder Isaac Paredes from the Tampa Bay Rays. Paredes is a rising star who hit a career-high 31 home runs and drove in 98 runs last year. He won't be a free agent until 2028, making him a long-term asset for the Cubs.

Paredes' Power Bat

Paredes has emerged as one of the most promising young hitters in baseball. He has exceptional pull-side power, which has been a glaring weakness in the Cubs' lineup this season. The addition of Paredes should provide a much-needed boost to Chicago's offense.
