Dodgers Named 'Best Fit' for Potential $400 Million Star Kyle Tucker in Free Agency
"As the front office examines the ball club and looks to make the necessary changes, one area that is undoubtedly a facet of the team that needs improving is outfield depth and production. Michael Conforto and Teoscar Hernández both had down years (with Conforto hitting .199 by season's end), and each rank towards the bottom of MLB defensively. For these reasons and more, ESPN's David Schoenfield recently labeled the Dodgers as a 'best fit' for Chicago Cubs All-Star Kyle Tucker."
"Tucker is a four-time All-Star and will be 29 by the start of spring training. He spent the first seven years of his MLB career with the Houston Astros, and although he had a slightly down season with the Cubs in 2025, he did enough for another All-Star nod and his second Silver Slugger award. The right fielder hit .266/.377/.464 with an OPS of .841, adding 22 home runs and 73 RBIs."
Los Angeles Dodgers plan offseason roster changes focused on improving outfield depth and production after consecutive championships. Michael Conforto and Teoscar Hernández struggled in 2025, with Conforto ending at .199 and both ranking near MLB lows defensively. Observers identified the Dodgers as a top fit for All-Star right fielder Kyle Tucker. Tucker, a four-time All-Star and 2025 Silver Slugger winner, hit .266/.377/.464 with 22 homers and 73 RBIs despite a hand fracture that hampered his second-half production. Tucker projects to command up to $400 million in free agency, and the Dodgers' spending capacity positions them as realistic suitors.
