So far this winter, the Cubs have added two key members of the Astros, Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressly, both via trade with Houston.

The Houston Astros and Chicago Cubs finally came to an agreement on a trade to send two-time All-Star closer Ryan Pressly to the latter of the two teams. This deal came with the understanding that he would ultimately have to waive his no-trade clause for it to happen,

Pressly has agreed to waive his no-trade clause, according to a person familiar with the situation, and there is an agreement in place between the teams, pending a review of medical records. The person spoke to the AP on Sunday on condition of anonymity because the trade had not been finalized.

ESPN's Jeff Passan reported that the Astros are sending reliever Ryan Pressly and cash considerations to the Cubs. In exchange, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reported that minor league pitcher Juan Bello will head to the Astros.

The Houston Astros just shook up MLB with a blockbuster trade, sending veteran closer Ryan Pressly to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for minor league pitcher Juan Bello and cash considerations. This move isn't just about bolstering the Cubs' bullpen—it could be the key to the Astros’ potential reunion with Alex Bregman.

Bregman stands as perhaps the best position player available in free agency with less than a month before the beginning of Spring Training, and he reportedly still has a standing six-year, $156 million offer from Houston.
