Dodgers Could Sign Kyle Tucker on One Condition

"Kyle Tucker is the premier free agent current available on the market. This is not a surprise to even the most casual baseball fan. Tucker's decision to not re-sign with the Chicago Cubs immediately vaulted him atop the heap in terms of being a real asset for any ballclub in the Big Leagues. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been perceived to be a perfect fit given their need for a starting outfielder."

"Both New York clubs appear to be fits on the surface. The Yankees would love to add Tucker's bat with the short porch in right field at Yankee Stadium. The Mets have a bit of egg on their face in the wake of letting fan favorites Edwin Diaz and Pete Alonso walk in free agency. Adding Tucker would somewhat soften the blow."

""The undisputed No. 1 free agent hasn't stirred many rumors since he was spotted touring the beautiful spring home of the Blue Jays in Dunedin, Fla. Toronto, which signed the biggest deal so far (Dylan Cease, $210 million) and leads in spending this winter, should be attractive due to their excellent team and spring location near Tucker's Tampa home."

Kyle Tucker declined to re-sign with the Chicago Cubs and now ranks as the premier free agent available, making him a high-priority target for multiple MLB clubs. The Los Angeles Dodgers were widely seen as a natural fit because of their need for a starting outfielder, but interest appears broader than initially believed. The Toronto Blue Jays present an attractive option given heavy winter spending, a major signing (Dylan Cease, $210 million), and spring training proximity to Tucker's Tampa home. Both New York clubs also present plausible fits based on ballpark and roster considerations, while the offseason market continues to evolve.
