Dodgers Sign Kyle Tucker to $240 Million, Four-Year Contract with Opt-Outs

Kyle Tucker agreed to a $240 million, four-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, with opt-outs after years two and three and an average annual value of $60 million—the second-highest in MLB history behind Shohei Ohtani. The deal bolsters LA’s lineup and addresses left-field depth, likely placing Tucker in right field and moving Teoscar Hernández to left, as the Dodgers pursue a third straight World Series. Tucker, who turns 29 this weekend, joins a Dodgers roster famous for big contracts; the Cubs will receive a compensatory draft pick for rejecting a qualifying offer after Tucker’s 2024 trade from Houston.
