Tigers receive top Cubs' prospect Jeimer Candelario in trade

The Detroit Tigers acquired third baseman Jeimer Candelario and Issac Paredes, and a player to be named later or cash considerations from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for reliever Justin Wilson and catcher Alex Avila.

What It Means:

It remains to be seen how things play out, but Candelario's arrival in Detroit could possibly mean Nick Castellanos is moved to the outfield. Despite going just 5-for-33 (.152) with 1 home run and 3 RBI in 11 games for the Cubs this season, the 23-year-old rookie is ready for the big leagues.

Over 81 games at Triple-A Iowa this season, Candelario slashed .266/.361/.507 with 12 home runs and 52 RBI in 330 plate appearances.
