Chicago Cubs: Former top prospect makes Houston Astros 2025 Opening Day roster
The Chicago Cubs’ most valuable acquisition this offseason was trading for outfielder Kyle Tucker of the Houston Astros to give them a legitimate star in their lineup.
Tucker, a 3x All-Star and a Gold Glover will add thump to a Cubs lineup that lacked power and bring a winning mentality to the Cubs clubhouse.
The Cubs gave up a haul to acquire Tucker, with one of those pieces set to be a core piece for the Astro’s future.

The centerpiece in the deal that netted the Cubs Tucker was third baseman Cam Smith, one of the Cub’s best prospects.
Smith, now ranked as the Astros top prospect, was a non-roster invite this spring and was there to foreshadow what fans would see when his time to get called up came. However, Smith had other plans and put on a show this spring.
Smith destroyed the ball this spring, hitting .342/.419/.711 for an OPS of 1.129 and mashed four home runs in 15 games. These numbers made such an impression on manager Joe Espada and his staff that it helped to make their decision easy and inform Smith that he made the team.

What’s in store for Smith?
Now that he has made the Major League roster at 22, Smith will likely be playing rightfield for the Astros.
Former Cub Issac Paredes was also in the deal for Tucker and will likely be the Astros third baseman.
Smith should do well with the newly named Daikin Park being a hitter-friendly park.
If Smith can replicate anywhere near the numbers he put up this spring, he should be in the running for this season’s Rookie of the Year award.
