Nearly one year later, Cubs’ deal for Kyle Tucker viewed as a ‘success’ by club

With each passing day, last year’s trade for Kyle Tucker increasingly looks like a one-off deal for the Chicago Cubs. It’s not just that the Cubs appear ready to collect an MLB draft pick if (or when) the consensus No. 1 free agent signs with a new team.
