Kyle benjamin ricketson tucker has in agreement(p) to a $240-million US, four-year undertake with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to a somebody familiar spirit with the deal, bolstering the franchise's chance for a third consecutive World Series championship.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday night on condition of anonymity because the agreement was pending a physical.
ESPN also reported the same terms for the pending deal with the Dodgers. The New York Post likewise said that Tucker was headed to L.A.
Tucker's $60-million average annual value would be the second-highest in baseball history, not factoring discounting, behind Shohei Ohtani's $70-million in his 10-year deal with the Dodgers that runs through 2033.
When healthy, Tucker is among the best all-around players in the majors. But the outfielder has played in just 214 regular-season games over the past two years.
He batted .266 with 22 homers and 73 RBIs with the Chicago Cubs last season. He was acquired in a blockbuster trade with Houston in December 2024 that moved slugging prospect Cam Smith to the Astros.
The Dodgers, the team that beat the Toronto Blue Jays in the Fall Classic last year, have won three of the past six World Series titles.
The Jays were said to have extended their own offer to Tucker.
With the addition of Tucker, the Dodgers have acquired another piece of the puzzle for L.A. To try to push toward a third straight championship — a feat that no Major League Baseball team has pulled off since the New York Yankees won three in a row from 1998 to 2000.
