"The Los Angeles Dodgers pulled off another stunner as they agreed to terms with Kyle Tucker on a four-year, $240 million contract that includes deferred salary and multiple opt-out clauses. Tucker was the top free agent and fills an important need for the Dodgers in the outfield. He reportedly turned down offers from the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets to join a star-studded group in L.A."
"The Dodgers have shown a willingness to blow past any luxury tax threshold in order to sign the best available talent, which president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman attributed to the organization's financial success, via Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic: "We are in a really strong position right now, financially," Friedman said last month.

Kyle Tucker agreed to a four-year, $240 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers that includes deferred salary and multiple opt-out clauses. Tucker fills a key outfield need after reportedly turning down offers from the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets. The Dodgers earlier signed Edwin D edaz to a three-year, $69 million contract. The organization has repeatedly exceeded luxury-tax thresholds to acquire top talent, supported by strong financial resources and committed ownership. The team has 13 consecutive playoff appearances, five National League pennants and three World Series championships. Goals for 2026 include winning the NL West, earning a first-round bye and improving pitching across all levels.
