Los Angeles Dodgers Eye Kyle Tucker To Supercharge Outfield

Chasing back-to-back titles, the Dodgers are expected to aggressively pursue Tucker this winter. The All-Star hit .266 with 22 homers, 73 RBIs, 91 runs, and 25 steals in 136 games, despite finger and calf issues. LA’s corner-outfield OPS lagged (.229/.317/.385), and Teoscar Hernandez’s dip fuels urgency. With massive resources, a $400M-plus bid isn’t impossible for LA.
