Kyle Tucker’s Dodgers Mega-Deal Comes With A Deferral Twist

Jon Heyman wrote, 'Tucker’s Dodgers deal has $30M in deferrals' on a four-year, $240M pact. Jesse Rogers added a $64M signing bonus. Sources say it also carries opt-outs after the second and third seasons, letting Tucker re-test free agency quickly. For Los Angeles, the smaller deferral keeps cash flow flexible while still landing the winter’s top hitter.
