Overview

• Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter ranks the Dodgers as the most likely destination for the Cubs star, citing two locked-in outfielders and a third slot viewed as the clearest upgrade path.
• Reuter notes Los Angeles could stomach a price that reaches the $400–$500 million range, with Tucker likely shifting to left field since Teoscar Hernández profiles better in right.
• Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller points to the Giants as a prominent alternative, aligning with Buster Posey’s recent aggressive roster moves.
• Multiple reports indicate the Cubs are unlikely to retain Tucker, who is expected to test the open market after an uneven second half.
• Analysts acknowledge a midseason slump and a September hand injury but still highlight Tucker’s multi-year production, including four All-Star selections and 134 home runs since 2021.
