The Houston Astros made headlines by trading superstar outfielder Kyle Tucker to the Chicago Cubs, signaling a potential rebuild. Despite mixed reactions from fans regarding the return, which included third baseman Isaac Paredes, pitcher Hayden Wesneski, and prospect Cam Smith, Astros legend Roy Oswalt praised the deal.
Oswalt believes Paredes is a perfect fit for the Astros, especially at the newly named Daikin Park, where his power-hitting capabilities could shine. With a strong 2024 season behind him, Paredes has the potential to outperform the player he is replacing, Alex Bregman.
Wesneski, who showed promise in his previous season, could also develop into a key player for the Astros. While the trade marks a significant change for the franchise, it may be a strategic move for a brighter future.
