Star outfielder Kyle Tucker could be set to leave the Chicago Cubs in free agency this winter, with the Los Angeles Dodgers set to pursue him.

The Chicago Cubs are "likely" going to part ways with Kyle Tucker this winter as the slugger seeks a contract north of $300 million in free agency, ESPN's Jeff Passan and Jesse Rogers reported Wednesday.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of the favorites in the sweepstakes for superstar outfielder Kyle Tucker in free agency.

MLB free agency opens Thursday, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are once again positioned to dominate the offseason rumor mill.

The Dodgers will naturally be connected with all of the top free agents, but it sounds like their pursuit of one player will be muted.

For the most part, the core of the 2026 Dodgers shouldn’t change much. But the Dodgers have work to do and decisions to make as they attempt to defend their title again next year.

MLB insider Jon Heyman put a price tag on Kyle Tucker as the Los Angeles Dodgers remain a top target in the offseason.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are kings of the baseball world for a second straight season. Last Saturday, the Dodgers bested the Toronto Blue Jays in an instant classic Game 7. Earlier this week, the team got the chance to celebrate their second title in two years with their hometown crowd inside Dodger Stadium.

When Juan Soto got $765 million from the Mets, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. landed $500 million from the Blue Jays, Tucker had to be thrilled. He’s likely in line for a 10-plus year deal in the $400 million range that will likely pay him at least $35 million a year, and potentially more.

The Chicago Cubs have a lot of needs to address this offseason, and one inside believes it takes them out of the Kyle Tucker race.
