""Obviously now, we're sort of into free agency, and we'll be talking to [his agent] and we'll be having those conversations.""
""Like I said a bunch of times during this season, everyone can use a guy like Tucker. Everyone gets better by having a player like that...Kyle earned the right to not only be a free agent, but to be a coveted free agent.""
""I think that, clearly, Kyle had a huge impact on our offense this year. So if he's not here, that's a void, and we've got to figure out how to replace that. But there's a lot of different ways to do that. So I think that will be the focus.""
The Blue Jays and Mariners meet in a winner-take-all game in Toronto for a World Series berth against the Dodgers. The Dodgers look likely to repeat, and Cubs fans are eager for the offseason. Jed Hoyer has five days to extend a qualifying offer to Kyle Tucker, beginning a process that likely ends with Tucker departing in free agency. Tucker's loss would leave a significant offensive void. Replacement options include internal candidates like Owen Caissie or Moisés Ballesteros, trading those prospects, or pursuing free agents such as Alex Bregman or Cody Bellinger. The Cubs also need at least one dependable starting pitcher.
