Overview
- Multiple outlets cite estimates that Tucker could command roughly $400 million, with some projections modeling a 10-year, $427 million deal.
- Bleacher Report’s forecast places the Dodgers as a leading landing spot, while Jon Heyman reports the Blue Jays’ interest and tags the Giants as a logical fit.
- Cubs president Jed Hoyer said Tucker enjoyed his time in Chicago and called free agency a big decision for the player.
- Tucker’s 2025 line — .266/.377/.464 with 22 home runs and 25 steals in 136 games — came despite injuries and uneven stretches.
- Analysts frame Chicago’s offseason pivot as either re-signing Tucker at top-of-market dollars or reallocating payroll, with some urging a trade pursuit of Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman after the Samuel Basallo extension.
