"The Toronto Blue Jays may have already been despising the Los Angeles Dodgers after falling to them in seven games in the World Series this past season. However, the Blue Jays and their fans may loathe them even more now after Kyle Tucker signed with Los Angeles on Thursday (Jan. 15) to a massive four-year, $240 million deal after weeks of persistent pursuit by Toronto."
"Previously, Los Angeles broke the Toronto fans' hearts when they ultimately signed Japanese two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani during the 2023-24 offseason. If that wasn't enough already, the Dodgers would follow it up during the winter of 2024-25 to snag Japanese star Roki Sasaki after the Blue Jays did everything they could to maximize their international pool money in an attempt to land him."
"Now with Tucker in the mix, he will help stabilize and drastically enhance the Dodgers outfield that was perhaps one of their weaknesses in 2025. The 28-year-old star will bring 30+ home runs and 100+ RBIs worth of offensive output over a full 162-game schedule, along with the ability to steal 20+ bases while hitting for a high average and playing consistently solid defense."
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker to a four-year, $240 million contract after persistent pursuit by the Toronto Blue Jays. The Dodgers previously signed Shohei Ohtani and Roki Sasaki despite Toronto's efforts to acquire them. Tucker adds a 28-year-old power-speed outfielder projected for 30+ home runs, 100+ RBIs, 20+ steals, a high batting average, and solid defense over a full season. Tucker joins a star-studded Dodgers lineup including Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Teoscar Hernández, Max Muncy, and Will Smith. The move strengthens the Dodgers and makes them harder to dethrone as reigning champions.
