US EditionKyle Tucker to sign with Dodgers as MLB's greatest team strikes again
- On Jan. 15, 2026, Kyle Tucker, outfielder, agreed to a four-year, $240,000,000 contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers that includes an opt-out after the second year.
- Dodgers targeted Tucker to fill a left-field need and secured the top outfielder after roughly two months of free agency, beating reported offers from the New York Mets and interest from the Toronto Blue Jays.
- Tucker brings a strong track record including 25.3 Wins Above Replacement since 2021 and a 145 adjusted OPS despite injuries in 2025, such as a June 1 hand fracture and calf strain.
- Chicago Cubs will receive a compensatory draft pick because Tucker declined a $22,025,000 qualifying offer, and the Los Angeles Dodgers' luxury-tax payroll is projected near $350 million.
- This signing continues the Dodgers' pattern of adding marquee free agents, boosting Los Angeles as a World Series favorite and reshaping rival plans, leaving the Mets and Blue Jays short.
