The Cubs also received cash considerations in
sending shortstop Kevin Made and left-handed pitcher DJ Herz to
Washington in the deal.
Candelario, 29, appeared in 16 games for the Cubs across 2016
and 2017 before spending the bulk of his major league career
with the Detroit Tigers. He was in his first season with
Washington, where he was batting .258 with 16 home runs, 30
doubles and 53 RBIs over 99 games.
Candelario is a career .243 batter with 82 homers, 156 doubles
and 301 RBIs over 705 games for the Cubs, Tigers (2017-22) and
Nationals.
Made and Herz were the Nos. 14 and 16 prospects in the Cubs'
farm system, according to MLB Pipeline.
Made, 20, was batting .241 this season at High-A South Bend.
Herz, 22, was 1-1 with a 3.97 ERA over 14 starts for Double-A
Tennessee.
