Overview
- Jon Heyman says the Dodgers are expected to pursue the Cubs right fielder and calls them a top threat to land him.
- Heyman estimated Tucker’s contract could approach $400 million and highlighted right field as a clear fit for Los Angeles.
- Other big-market teams are mentioned as potential bidders, including the Giants, Red Sox, Mets, Yankees, Phillies, and Blue Jays.
- Cubs president Jed Hoyer said the team will have conversations in free agency, but reporting notes Chicago may be priced out given its spending history and CBA-related caution.
- Tucker enters the market after a late-season calf strain and second-half dip, with valuations now discussed in the $350–$400 million range and his post-series thank-you to Chicago read by some as a possible farewell.
