"If you're struggling throughout the season, but you're able to move guys over, or hit a ground ball to second to get a guy in from third, draw walks and make pitchers work, or make a play on defense, little things like that can add up to a lot of wins throughout the season. Some of the stuff might not show up on the scorecard, but guys in the clubhouse and front office will notice little things like that."
"I mean, I don't read into it a whole lot. I know what I try to do out on the field and what I bring to the clubhouse. I try and do my best out there regardless of how I feel or what the situation is. I'm going to try and go out there and win games."
Kyle Tucker, 29, agreed to a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers to fill their outfield need. The Dodgers prioritized Tucker over other targets such as Jarren Duran, Steven Kwan and Brendan Donovan. The front office views Tucker as a "real needle mover" for their pursuit of a third straight World Series in 2026, and manager Dave Roberts called him a potential National League MVP candidate. Some outsiders question Tucker's passion and motor, but he remains unfazed, emphasizing focusing on small, game-winning actions, blocking out noise, and bringing playoff experience and confidence to the clubhouse. Andrew Friedman noted Tucker's commitment and work ethic during negotiations.
