"Tucker was a great teammate and he was always out there. Always working hard, always playing hard. Tremendous player, but like a great teammate."
"I know what I try and 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."
"I'm fired up. I've been playing in the playoffs for a while now. There's nothing that beats that, I'm excited to continue that here."
Kyle Tucker joined the Los Angeles Dodgers on a four-year, $240 million contract after addressing rumors questioning his dedication to baseball. Michael Busch, who played with Tucker on the Chicago Cubs in 2025, defended him as a great teammate who worked hard and played with intensity. Tucker himself dismissed the speculation, emphasizing his commitment to winning games and his excitement about continuing his playoff success with the Dodgers. His track record supports his dedication—he played through a hairline fracture last season while recording 22 homers, 73 RBIs, and earning his fourth consecutive All-Star selection and a Silver Slugger award. Tucker will occupy right field for the Dodgers, batting second behind Shohei Ohtani.
