"The Los Angeles Dodgers sent shockwaves throughout the sport yet again by striking in free agency to sign Kyle Tucker to a reported four-year, $240 million contract. Tucker's impending signing with the Dodgers comes after the New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays also made strong pursuits. Tucker reportedly visited the Blue Jays' Spring Training facility in December and several players would often comment on his Instagram posts as part of the organization's recruiting efforts."
"Kyle Tucker's four-year, $240 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers includes opt-outs after the second and third seasons, sources tell ESPN. An enormous windfall for the best free agent available. And the champs get even better. @ByRobertMurray was on top of the money. - Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) January 16, 2026 The Dodgers' reported interest in Tucker was said to have centered around a preference for a short-term contract similar to what Alex Bregman signed with the Boston Red Sox last offseason."
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired Kyle Tucker on a four-year, $240 million contract that features opt-outs after the 2027 and 2028 seasons. The New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays also pursued Tucker, and he reportedly visited the Blue Jays' Spring Training facility as part of their recruitment. The deal matches the Dodgers' preference for a short-term, high-average-annual-value contract similar to Alex Bregman's recent deal. Tucker strengthens the Dodgers' outfield and lineup depth, likely prompting Teoscar Hernández to shift to left field and addressing offensive lapses the team experienced last season.
