Matt Snyder, a CBS Sports baseball writer, provided insight into the implications of this trade for the Cubs. The acquisition of Tucker signals a break from mediocrity. Snyder emphasized that the Cubs are looking to capitalize on the current landscape of the NL Central, which seems more winnable than in past seasons. With teams like the Cardinals going through a reloading phase, the Pirates still in development, and uncertainties surrounding the Reds, this is the moment for the Cubs to assert their dominance.
