Dodgers agree with Kyle Tucker ‘on $240m deal’ as champs beat out Mets, Blue Jays for top free agent
Kyle Tucker is joining Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman with the back-to-back World Series-champion Los Angeles Dodgers, according to a bombshell report.
ESPN is reporting the former Chicago Cubs right fielder has agreed to a free-agent deal with the Dodgers. Fan Sided’s Robert Murray has since reported the deal to be worth $240 million over four seasons. Tucker can opt out of the contract to become a free agent again after the 2027 season.
The deal would give Tucker baseball’s second highest average annual salary at $60 million. Only his new teammate, Ohtani, has a higher average annual salary at $70 million, and his deal is heavily backloaded.
It’s still not clear if Tucker’s deal will be similarly backloaded.
Tucker was rumored to be getting offers of around $50 million per season after batting .266 with 22 homers, 73 RBIs and an .841 OPS in 136 games in 2025. The four-time All-Star was even better over seven seasons in Houston, hitting 89 home runs from 2022 to 2024 while finishing fifth in the MVP voting in 2023.
