The aftermath of the Chicago Cubs' approach to the MLB trade deadline has made it seem that Kyle Tucker won't be back with the team next season, and that mostly stems from the fact that Owen Caissie is still setting the world on fire with the Iowa Cubs. Matthew Trueblood of North Side Baseball shared some further insight into how the Cubs handled the deadline, and it seemingly is more confirmation that Tucker won't be back in Chicago after this season.
"We just felt, if we're going to move this player, the return has to reflect the fact that they're under control at a below-market price [through those seasons]," said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss details of trade conversations.
