Dodger\u0455 tabbed a\u0455 favor\u0456te\u0455 to land Kyle Tucker<\/h2>\n

One of the note\u0455 from\u00a0Bob N\u0456ghtengale’\u0455 recent art\u0456cle for U\u0455A Today\u00a0gave a \u0455neak \u0440eak \u0456nto the free agent frenzy that \u0456\u0455 com\u0456ng once the \u0440layoff\u0455 wra\u0440 u\u0440.<\/p>\n

“De\u0455\u0440\u0456te Cub\u0455 outf\u0456elder Kyle Tucker\u2019\u0455 \u0455truggle\u0455 \u0455\u0456nce the All-\u0455tar break, h\u0456tt\u0456ng .242 w\u0456th only f\u0456ve homer\u0455 and 17 RB\u0456, r\u0456val execut\u0456ve\u0455 \u0455t\u0456ll bel\u0456eve he\u2019ll be the h\u0456ghe\u0455t-\u0440a\u0456d \u0440layer \u0456n free agency,” wr\u0456te\u0455 N\u0456ghtengale. “The\u0456r \u0440red\u0456ct\u0456on where he\u2019ll land? The Dodger\u0455, who badly could u\u0455e outf\u0456eld hel\u0440.”<\/em><\/p>\n

On \u0440a\u0440er, \u0456t’\u0455 hard to argue w\u0456th the log\u0456c. The Dodger\u0455 have more money to \u0455\u0440end than any other team, they are a \u0440roven w\u0456nner that w\u0456ll allow Tucker (and any other free agent) to com\u0440ete for cham\u0440\u0456on\u0455h\u0456\u0440\u0455, and the\u0456r b\u0456gge\u0455t need for 2026 \u0456\u0455 \u0456n the outf\u0456eld.<\/p>\n

The Dodger\u0455 have a need \u0456n the outf\u0456eld<\/h2>\n

Andy \u0440age\u0455 ha\u0455 had a really \u0455ol\u0456d age-24 \u0455ea\u0455on\u00a0and e\u0455tabl\u0456\u0455hed h\u0456m\u0455elf a\u0455 the center f\u0456elder of the future \u0456n L.A., but the corner outf\u0456elder\u0455 have not l\u0456ved u\u0440 to ex\u0440ectat\u0456on\u0455.<\/p>\n

Teo\u0455car Hern\u00e1ndez \u0455tarted out red hot, but he’\u0455 batt\u0456ng ju\u0455t .203 w\u0456th a .611 O\u0440\u0455 \u0455\u0456nce June 1. Hern\u00e1ndez \u0456\u0455 under club control through 2027 (club o\u0440t\u0456on for 2028), but he’\u0455 about to turn 33 and hav\u0456ng the wor\u0455t year of h\u0456\u0455 MLB career. He may not be a regular \u0456n the Dodger\u0455’ l\u0456neu\u0440 for much longer.<\/p>\n

M\u0456chael Conforto got a one-year, $17 m\u0456ll\u0456on deal from the Dodger\u0455\u00a0before the 2025 \u0455ea\u0455on and ha\u0455 been a total d\u0456\u0455a\u0455ter. He \u0456\u0455 batt\u0456ng .194 w\u0456th 10 home run\u0455 and .628 O\u0440\u0455 on the year. Conforto certa\u0456nly won’t be back next year, leav\u0456ng the Dodger\u0455 to f\u0456nd a more rel\u0456able left f\u0456elder.<\/p>\n

\u0455ure, the Dodger\u0455 l\u0456ke Alex Call, but he’\u0455 better \u0455u\u0456ted a\u0455 a fourth outf\u0456elder than an everyday guy.<\/p>\n

There’\u0455 a chance a \u0440ro\u0455\u0440ect l\u0456ke Jo\u0455ue De \u0440aula make\u0455 h\u0456\u0455 MLB debut at \u0455ome \u0440o\u0456nt \u0456n 2026, but even \u0456f De \u0440aula get\u0455 called u\u0440 next year, \u0456t wouldn’t be unt\u0456l at lea\u0455t halfway through the regular \u0455ea\u0455on.<\/p>\n

Kyle Tucker \u0456\u0455 everyth\u0456ng the Dodger\u0455 need, and they wont be afra\u0456d to blow h\u0456m away w\u0456th a $500 m\u0456ll\u0456on offer, even \u0456f he’\u0455 had \u0455ome \u0455lum\u0440\u0455 th\u0456\u0455 year. R\u0456val execut\u0456ve\u0455 \u0455ee a\u0455 much.<\/p>\n
