"The Dodgers signed Tucker to a four-year, $240 million deal Jan. 15, but he won't just receive $60 million annually. The four-time All-Star is receiving a $64 million signing bonus, getting $54 million of the bonus Feb. 15 and the remaining $10 million in Feb. 2027. His total salary for the 2026 season is $1 million. Tucker's salary goes up to the expected amount in 2027, as he will earn $55 million with $10 million deferred."
"The Dodgers splashed on Tucker because he was the clear best option during free agency. Tucker has made each of the last four All-Star games, and has hit 20 or more home runs in each of the last five seasons. He has also accrued 4.0 bWAR in each of those five seasons. In 2025, the outfielder hit just 22 home runs - his lowest since 2020 - and tallied 73 RBIs through 136 games played."

Tucker's 2026 salary is $1 million, rising to $55 million plus $10 million deferred in 2027. He has a player decision after 2028; if he remains he would earn $60 million plus $10 million deferred in the following season. Tucker will pay $200,000 annually to the team charity in 2026–2027 and $250,000 annually in 2028–2029, and may purchase suite and premium home-game seats. Tucker is a four-time All-Star with consistent 20-plus home run seasons and five straight 4.0 bWAR seasons.
