"Would they like Tucker? Sure. Anyone would. Will they chase him? Nope. Not unless it's on a shorter-term deal. Same with any free agent, really, because the Dodgers are now at the point where players believe their best chance at a World Series ring runs through Los Angeles, and the calendar is starting to force them to consider options they might not have otherwise."
"I chose the Dodgers because they are a winning organization,"
"I'm looking to win, and I think they have everything to win."
The Los Angeles Dodgers strengthened their roster during the offseason by signing marquee free agents, including outfielder Kyle Tucker and All-Star closer Edwin Díaz. Championship status and perceived superior World Series odds allow the Dodgers to be selective and let players gravitate to Los Angeles rather than aggressively pursuing every target. The front office prioritized addressing a bullpen weakness by signing Díaz to a three-year deal after he posted a 1.63 ERA across 62 appearances last season. The Dodgers monitored the Tucker market while other teams, including a reported Mets offer of $50 million per year on a short-term deal, made aggressive proposals.
