"Tucker is primarily a right fielder, and would fit right into the Dodgers' lineup if he were to sign with LA this offseason. He has made each of the last four All-Star Games, and has 20 or more home runs in his last five seasons. If the Dodgers don't sign Tucker, though, Bowden thinks the Dodgers could look back to Bellinger."
"Bellinger spent the best years of his career with the Dodgers, making two All-Star appearances in his first three seasons and winning the MVP award for his fantastic performances in 2019. He struggled towards the end of his tenure with the Dodgers, though, and ultimately the team non-tendered him. Over the past couple of seasons, though, he has bounced back and is once again an All-Star-caliber player."
The Dodgers seek to replace Michael Conforto and have been linked to top free agents Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger. The team wants improved defense in right field and prefers shorter deals with higher average annual value and opt-out clauses. Kyle Tucker is a primary right fielder with four straight All-Star selections and consistent 20-plus home run seasons, making him an ideal fit. If Tucker pursues a different contract type or signs elsewhere, Cody Bellinger could return to Los Angeles as a secondary option after rebuilding All-Star-caliber form following earlier struggles.
