"Kyle Tucker is the top free agent available and figures to be in line for a lucrative long-term contract, particularly with the likes of the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees among the potential suitors. In a recent poll of some general managers, the Dodgers, Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays were predicted as the most-likely landing spot for Tucker. The Dodgers do have a need in the outfield and the 28-year-old Tucker conceivably would help extend their window as World Series contenders."
"Though Tucker makes sense for a Los Angeles Dodgers team in need of a productive outfield bat, sources said their interest is more likely to be on a high-dollar, shorter-term deal. The Dodgers took such an approach under president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman in their pursuit of Bryce Harper. He instead preferred long-term security and signed what at the time was a record-breaking 13-year, $330 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies."
Kyle Tucker is the top free agent expected to draw lucrative offers, with the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays among likely suitors. The Dodgers have an outfield need and the 28-year-old Tucker could help extend their championship window. Sources indicate the Dodgers would prefer a high-dollar, shorter-term contract. The organization used a similar short-term approach pursuing Bryce Harper under Andrew Friedman, though Harper chose a 13-year, $330 million deal. Tucker is represented by Casey Close of Excel Sports Management. There are no public indications whether Tucker would accept a short-term deal. The Dodgers have also been linked to Cody Bellinger.
