Overview

- Recent estimates place Tucker’s ask in the $350 million to $425 million range over roughly a decade, with a $40 million annual salary widely discussed.
- New York coverage frames Tucker as a prime Yankees target after their early postseason exit, including opinion pieces urging an aggressive $400 million–plus offer.
- Reuters highlights the Dodgers as a projected frontrunner and underscores how concentrated spending power in Los Angeles and New York could define the top-end market.
- Yahoo details Tucker’s midseason hand fracture and a September calf strain that muted his second half, yet evaluators still rate him as a franchise-altering bat entering age 29.
