The Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs have an incredibly rich history and loyal fan base. They have one more thing in common. The Red Sox and Cubs both have a recent acquisition that used to play with the Houston Astros who both have had a fantastic first week of the 2025 Major League Baseball regular season. Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman of Albuquerque, New Mexico was named the American League Player of the Week, and Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker of Tampa, Florida was named the National League Player of the Week. Bregman was with the Astros from 2016 to 2024, before signing a three-year deal worth $120 million on February 15. Tucker was with the Astros from 2018 to 2024 before being traded to the Cubs for third baseman Isaac Paredes of Hermosillo, Mexico, pitcher Hayden Wesneski of Houston, Texas and right fielder Cam Smith of Lake Worth, Florida.
