[Music] breaking news it’s a done deal the Chicago Cubs have acquired Kyle Tucker in a trade with the Houston Astros Tucker is a free agent after this season he is a superstar he’s one of the best players in Major League Baseball period last year was on an MVP track on that conversation at the start of the year of course he went down for about half the season with an injury but when he is on the field he’s a stud he’s been on the field for the majority of his career there’s no injury pled label on Kyle Tucker guys he’s a five tool player am I right how do you describe Kyle Tucker like give me the scouting report on what the Cubs are getting we’ll go to the Astros side in a moment but what are the Cubs getting because Katz there’s a lot of vanilla in what the Cubs were putting out there recently and they said we need a superstar this is a superstar they need to switch things up some teams felt like that this helps the minute he got put on the market coincided with the stto deal ironically some of the numbers this man puts up coincide with stto you’re sitting here going he’s not going to walk as much I get it he is a Astro machine Astros changed up how you take your at bats the way you swing at pitches what pitches you swing at and he is he’s only gotten better he has done a great job of zoning in in his pitches but then being able to put the bat on the ball on pitches that are on the edge when it comes to two strikes to me you’re talking about getting a guy that had a 8 10 181 Ops plus and I think sto’s Ops plus last year I get it more at bats was 188 or 186 almost similar Ops plus that’s how you compare players that have different amount of bats and their production this is a huge huge uge get we’re talking about a monster oh he can play The Outfield too stud kind of piggyback with Katy said man this guy I would love to see him go to uh you know more of a team in contention don’t get me wrong um shots fired no I’m not shooting shots I’m just spitting facts um but you know overall I think you know the Cubs um did a really good job here of of getting they gave away a couple guys as we talked about but um this is nice man this guy can play he’s just a ball player and Dusty begar always said a best when you get named hey look at that guy man that guy’s just a ball player and that’s what he is he’s a ball player and he plays the game the right way and he can mash and his swing is beautiful I don’t care what anybody says all right guys ready for this the Ops plus uh League ballpark adjusted right for Juan stto was 178 Kyle Tucker 181 this past season Kyle Tucker played half the season okay that that is true almost exactly 78 games baseball reference war was about five and for stto his baseball reference war in a full season was eight so if you do double up what Kyle Tucker brought in his prime years for the Astros this season he was according to many front offices a more valuable player okay not saying that’s my choice but that is how many people would look at him just to give you an idea of the ballpark of value of where this player is not the same bat far superior glove and Bas Runner more well-rounded ball player and really just the facts you’re right Todd father he’s going to a team that hasn’t been great lately they need a superstar they get one here he had the bone bruise is what the Astros called it eventually it was revealed it was a fracture and it’s big torque guy too right Catz with the swing oh yeah it’s it’s it’s not it’s a different type of Swing it’s a different swing that you know he kind of cuts himself short it’s not that like fluid looking but man does it do I like it it does tons of damage and the fact that he’s never struck out more than a hundred times in a season he’s 112 I think he had 112 RB two years ago he was on Pace for that again 107 the year before he’s only 20 he’s going to be 28 this year like to me I love it and for giving up is Paredes I love the pickup he is he should have been coveted by a lot of teams M wait one more and then let’s go to the Cub side of things well there it is prus wineski Cam Smith one more on Tucker and then we’ll go over the return for Houston Dana Brown said Kyle Tucker Astro for life don’t worry about it Jam of the Astros whoops not anymore just gotta be careful when you’re saying that stuff I love Dana Brown he’s actually he’s very straightforward he’s a guy that’s been in the biz for a long time he’s one of my favorites he was one of the keys behind the Atlanta Braves dominance in the last five to 10 years I mean he’s the guy that would find and sign a lot of the top talent but he’s in the GM chair now and you got to be careful because Kyle Tucker’s damn good and he’s a year away from free agency so this was said about a year and a half ago but Kyle Tucker is not an astro for life because he’s now a CB maybe he didn’t maybe maybe he undervalued what Kyle Tucker was or what Kyle Tucker would have taken you know he’s kind of a he’s kind of a quieter person all that stuff maybe Dana Brown didn’t realize that Juan stto pushing the market like it did Kyle Tucker really could be a 300 million $350 million player and he doesn’t have to go outside to boxy just do what he does best don’t feel like you got to do too much just keep mashing from the left side playing a good defense he’s got a cannon of an arm too as well he’s a beast and I think any team would like him to go out there and dominate and this is a good step forward for the Cubbies as well okay now let’s spend a few minutes on the Houston side so Hayden weski nice little pitching dep to add to the mix okay Cam Smith could be a dude that’s a high-end Prospect for a Cubs team that actually was in good shape with position player prospects so this is something that’s totally fine in my mind for Cubs fans very very worth it you need to go get more competitive in the National League central if you’re knocking a ball out for someone like stto you get Tucker for a year trying whine and dine and extend him but even if not you got to be more competitive next year this helps okay so now ESO Paratus I’m gonna take you back Kats because I started looking through my notes and the fit I had for paradus um at the trade deadline I was like paradus to the Astros first base last year didn’t happen and I’m like boom now we get it now we get to see the extreme flyball pull hitter do his thing in Houston with that freaking band box that they’ve got and the Crawford box is specifically in left field this is a park that in my mind is perfect for him he he’ll do the little dance Ross strippling told us where he’ll work the all Fields but his power is to one place okay and he was a stud in the first half for Tampa Bay his numbers fell off with Chicago the Cubs park park Factor wise was third toughest according to stack has for right-handed hitters last year Houston’s plugging him in and saying let’s go baby this guy’s about to be a force for us it’s not Kyle Tucker but this is a really good Big League replacement bat big lead replacement bat that can play Third and first we talked about it a little bit you can’t sit there and go wow he’s at third now so Alex bregman be look nice if they bring Alex bregman back and they go they go and put they go and put uh paradus at first especially since you know especially since you can’t don’t have to pay Tucker now maybe you can pay bregman mhm all right be right back for the TV
