The Chicago Cubs took a big and somewhat risky swing this past winter and it has paid off. The team decided to deal Cody Bellinger to the New York Yankees and bring in Kyle Tucker from the Houston Astros as a replacement, trading away players with several years of control ahead on their contracts for the pending free agent.

It's been a dream debut for Kyle Tucker with the Chicago Cubs, both personally — 17 homers, 22 steals and a .882 OPS, earning him his fourth consecutive All-Star berth — and in the standings, where the Cubs hold a one-game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central.
