Paredes was an All-Star this year and was under control through 2027. He is hitting .247 with 16 homers and will now help the Cubs for multiple seasons. As for Morel, the 25-year-old brings a fascinating skillset to Tampa Bay. Hitting just .199, he strikes out a ton, but also flashes great power. He's got 18 home runs and is also under team control for several seasons . Perhaps the Rays can bring some more contact ability to his game.
