"The Los Angeles Dodgers signed All-Star free agent Kyle Tucker to a four-year, $240 million deal Thursday, adding another star to one of the best offenses in MLB. Tucker, a four-time All-Star, addresses the Dodgers' desperate need for an outfielder. Michael Conforto spent the majority of 2025 in left field, but had an extremely underwhelming season and remains a free agent."
"Tucker, on the other hand, has hit 20 or more home runs in each of the last four seasons and was on a terrific pace in 2025 before suffering a hairline fracture in his right hand at the beginning of June. The slugger finished the season with 22 home runs and 73 RBIs while slashing .266/.377/.464. Before playing through his injury, though, the outfielder had 12 home runs and 39 RBIs while posting a .918 OPS, which led the Chicago Cubs at the time."
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker to a four-year, $240 million contract, adding an elite offensive bat and addressing a clear outfield need. Tucker has hit at least 20 home runs in each of the past four seasons and finished 2025 with 22 homers, 73 RBIs and a .266/.377/.464 slash line after a hairline fracture in his right hand. Before the injury he posted a .918 OPS with 12 homers and 39 RBIs. The Dodgers project Tucker in right field alongside Andy Pages and Teoscar Hernandez, with Tommy Edman likely at second base, and the club emerges as strong World Series favorites.
