Kyle Tucker To Dodgers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Kyle<\/p>\n

Curt Bishop of FanSided recently urged the Los Angeles Dodgers and the aforementioned Tucker to avoid coming together in free agency.<\/p>\n

“The Los Angeles Dodgers have never been shy about spending money, nor do they seem to care about the luxury tax thresholds,” Bishop wrote.<\/p>\n

“They spent big money over the winter and strengthened their case to repeat as World Series champions this coming fall. But regardless of what Tucker does at the plate, the Dodgers are likely set in terms of left-handed bats.<\/p>\n

“They already have Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman in the same lineup, and another left-handed power bat is not necessarily a need.<\/em><\/p>\n

In truth, the Dodgers might be better served trying to re-sign Max Muncy, as there will be a hole at third base when he enters free agency. <\/em><\/p>\n

Muncy will cost significantly less, too.” <\/em><\/p>\n

Having too much left-handed talent isn’t really an issue the Dodgers are likely worried about, especially with lefties like Muncy and Michael Conforto potentially set to depart in the offseason.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, the Dodgers are in the business to win.<\/p>\n

They’re likely going to try to sign the top names, and Tucker is atop the list of free agents this offseason.<\/p>\n

These two sides will likely be closely connected for the next few months, despite the left-handed talent in the Dodgers’ lineup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
