Jeimer Candelario Heading To Cubs In Trade
1 year agoThe Washington Nationals have traded third baseman Jeimer Candelario to the Chicago Cubs prior to Tuesday's MLB trade deadline. It's a full-circle move for the 29-year-old who began his big-league career by playing parts of two seasons with the Cubs prior to being moved to the Tigers in another deadline deal in the 2017 season. The veteran is in the midst of a big bounce-back season, hitting .258 with 16 home runs, six stolen bases, and an .823 OPS across 99 games with Washington after struggling to a .217 average with 13 homers, zero steals, and a .633 OPS across 124 games with Detroit last season. The Marlins and Cubs were rumored destinations for Candelario prior to Monday night's deal with Chicago.
