"The Los Angeles Dodgers have had some glaring weaknesses from their outfield this season, which has led many around the league to believe that they are the "team to beat" in the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes this offseason. The four-time All-Star from the Chicago Cubs is currently batting .270/.381/.472 with an OPS of .854 on the year. He has added 22 home runs along with 77 RBIs to go with an OPS+ of 149, almost 50 percent better than league average."
"Michael Conforto, signed to a one-year, $17 million deal last offseason, has failed to meet the expectations laid out for him. The veteran outfielder is batting just .194 on the year with an OPS of .632. Teoscar Hernández turns 33 in October and has had a down year after signing a three-year, $66 million deal this past offseason. He has started to heat up as of late, recording back-to-back multi-hit games on Saturday and Sunday against the San Francisco Giants."
The Los Angeles Dodgers have notable outfield weaknesses this season, positioning them as a top candidate to pursue Kyle Tucker. Tucker is batting .270/.381/.472 with an .854 OPS, 22 home runs, 77 RBIs and an OPS+ of 149. Michael Conforto is hitting .194 with a .632 OPS after signing a one-year, $17 million deal. Teoscar Hernández has struggled in his first year of a three-year, $66 million contract but has recently produced consecutive multi-hit games. Both Conforto and Hernández grade poorly defensively (OAA -7 and -9, fifth and third percentiles). Tucker offers improved defense overall and an 86th-percentile MLB arm value.
