Chandler Rome, Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney of The Athletic get together for a scouting report on Kyle Tucker and how his personality will mesh in the Wrigley Field clubhouse, whether he is ready to be a face of the franchise, and how Cam Smith will handle being the centerpiece of Houston's return.

From there, they discuss Alex Bregman’s market and potential willingness to accept a short-term deal. Could the Cubs be a fit there? 

Plus, Houston’s plan for top prospect Cam Smith after the Tucker trade, and a name to keep on the radar for another possible deal between the Astros and Cubs this winter.
