"Because the Los Angeles Dodgers have a need in the outfield and Kyle Tucker is a marquee talent who is available, there's some speculation of a fit existing. Some general managers recently predicted the Dodgers as one of the three likely landing spots for Tucker, along with the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays being a perceived favorite to sign the 28-year-old."
"Although the Dodgers have a need and seemingly the financial ability to sign Tucker, they may not be particularly keen on committing to a contract that figures to reach $400 million and potentially more. Elsewhere in the outfielder market, the Dodgers reportedly are among the teams with interest in Yankees free agent Cody Bellinger, per ESPN's Jeff Passan:"
"Bellinger is coming off a productive season with the Yankees after playing for the Chicago Cubs from 2023-2024. After failing to re-sign Juan Soto, the Yankees completed a trade with the Cubs to acquire Bellinger last December in exchange for Cody Poteet. For the Cubs, the trade was in response to acquiring Tucker, who now could end up replacing Bellinger on the Yankees roster. The Cubs had previously signed Bellinger to a three-year, $80 million contract in February. The deal included opt-outs after the first and second years."
The Los Angeles Dodgers have an outfield need and Kyle Tucker is a top available talent, with some general managers naming the Dodgers among three likely landing spots alongside the Yankees and Blue Jays. The Dodgers appear to have the financial capacity to sign Tucker but may resist committing to a contract projected to reach $400 million or more. The Dodgers have also shown interest in free agent outfielder Cody Bellinger. Bellinger played for the Cubs in 2023-2024 before a productive season with the Yankees. The Yankees acquired Bellinger last December in a trade with the Cubs for Cody Poteet. The Cubs had signed Bellinger to a three-year, $80 million deal that included opt-outs after the first and second years.
