Overview
- ESPN's Jeff Passan and Jesse Rogers report the Cubs are likely to part with Tucker this winter.
- Passan told Forbes the Dodgers are not inclined to offer a deal of 10 years or more, cooling one widely floated landing spot.
- Potential big-spending suitors identified include the Giants and Phillies, with a return to Tampa Bay viewed as unlikely.
- Market projections model decade-long proposals that could approach $400 million, sharpening debates over contract length and fit.
- Tucker hit .266/.374/.464 with 22 home runs and 25 steals in 2025, playing through a right-hand hairline fracture and later a calf strain as his defense continued to trend down from his 2022 Gold Glove level.
