Since coming to the Detroit Tigers from the Chicago Cubs organization in 2017, Jeimer Candelario has been one of the most consistent players on the roster. He has proved his value and it is time for him to reap the benefits.

Jeimer Candelario and Isaac Paredes came to the Detroit Tigers in a mid-season trade in which Detroit moved Justin Wilson and Alex Avila to the Cubs.

The Tigers have shipped away endless firepower over the past five to ten years, but this trade appears to be the one with the best returns, with Candelario being a solid MLB player and Paredes showing flashes of starting potential.
