""Hard to see the Cubs spending $300 million-plus on Kyle Tucker," wrote Heyman. "Great all-around player, but with Owen Caissie probably ready to go, and considering their history of avoiding the monster contract, the Dodgers, Giants and others seem more likely.""
"Tucker has struggled with injury over the past few seasons, playing just 78 games in 2024 and battling a hairline fracture in his right hand in the weeks leading up to the All-Star break. He still put up an OPS just short of 1.000 in 2024, though, and was brilliant outside of the rough stretch in 2025 which came with his injury."
"The Dodgers have a chance to play the Cubs in the upcoming NLCS, and it could serve as an audition of sorts for the slugger. He has had his struggles in the postseason so far, however his quality as a hitter is inarguable. The Cubs play the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 5 of the NLDS on Saturday, and the winner of that game will face the Dodgers in"
Kyle Tucker will enter free agency after the 2025 season. Tucker has established himself as one of MLB's premier power hitters and has not posted an OPS below .800 since a 28-game stint with the Houston Astros in 2018. The Dodgers, Giants and other teams appear more likely landing spots than the Cubs, given the Cubs' reluctance to commit $300 million-plus and the presence of Owen Caissie. Tucker could fill the Dodgers' left-field need while Michael Conforto was left off the postseason roster after an underwhelming 2025. Injuries limited Tucker to 78 games in 2024, yet he still nearly reached a 1.000 OPS that year.
