Kyle Tucker's slump shouldn't cause Cubs' front office to overreact at trade deadline

With all of the trade rumors surrounding top prospect Owen Caissie, you'd figure that the outfield picture in Chicago would be set in stone.

Instead, Ian Happ is kind of, maybe injured, Seiya Suzuki is still booting routine fly balls, and Kyle Tucker is mired in his worst slump as a Cub.

The Cubs really need Kyle Tucker to get it going again. It's just not the same lineup (especially vs frontline level pitching) when a superstar, elite hitter, is slumping as hard as this month.
