Cubs Put Quick End to Michael Busch Speculation

This was more fan speculation than anything else, but following the Kyle Tucker trade that included Isaac Paredes going to the Houston Astros there were some fans who were trying to move Michael Busch from first base to third. In this scenario, the Cubs could keep Cody Bellinger in the lineup at first base, while Tucker starts in right field and Seiya Suzuki continues to be the DH.

Well, the Cubs put any thought of Busch moving off first base to bed on Tuesday, when Jed Hoyer addressed the media following the Tucker trade.
