The Chicago Cubs trading for Houston Astros star right fielder Kyle Tucker provided a shot of adrenaline to a Cubs team– and its fandom– that hasn’t seen postseason play since the abbreviated 2020 season.

Kyle Tucker and the Chicago Cubs settled the largest of the 17 salary arbitration cases in which proposed figures were exchanged, agreeing to a one-year, $16.5 million contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The.

"I was glad we got it done," president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer said at Cubs Convention. "Both sides were motivated to get a deal done. Obviously excited he's here, under contract, and glad we put that behind us.

The new uniform will replace the navy “Wrigleyville” City Connect jerseys, which the team is retiring.

The team will then wear them for Friday home games throughout the summer.

There is a long list of things that the city of Chicago has become known for around the globe. Day games at Wrigley Field certainly make the list, as would the vibrant blues scene and its part in music’s history and evolution.
