Isaac Paredes arrived in Tampa in a straight-up trade for Austin Meadows, which was an excellent opportunity for the versatile infielder.  Playing at Third, Second and First, Paredes, who only had 2 Home Runs over 57 Games in Detroit, had 20 in 2022 in 111 Games. 

In 2023, Paredes broke out with 31 Home Runs, 98 RBIs, and a Slugging Percentage of .488, and he looked to be a future All-Star, and that would be the case in 2024, when he made it to the mid-season event.  However, the slumping Rays traded Parades to the Chicago Cubs before the trade deadline.  

With Tampa, Parades had 280 Hits with 67 Home Runs.
