"Tucker, the offseason's top free agent, is joining the Dodgers after spending one year with the Chicago Cubs. He was acquired from the Houston Astros prior to the 2025 season and made an immediate impact in the Windy City. Tucker hit an excellent .280/.384/.499 with 19 doubles, four triples, 17 home runs and 56 RBI over his first 95 games in Chicago. However, his production dropped in the second half as he recorded only 11 extra-base hits with a .738 on-base plus slugging."
"He showed the superstar that he is in the first half, and he helped carry our offense in the first half. Obviously, in the second half, he struggled a bit. But he's a star, and he got paid like a star. "I'm happy for him. He's going to a place where he can obviously win. It makes me happy that we were a good platform for him to have a good year and to play in the postseason and to get paid.""
