The Dodgers are pursuing Kyle Tucker in free agency, seeking to bolster their outfield with a top-tier contract.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly targeting outfielder Kyle Tucker in the upcoming free agency market as they prepare to defend their World Series title. Tucker, a four-time All-Star, is expected to command a contract between $300 million and $400 million despite a down second half in 2025 due to injuries and declining production. The Dodgers, projected to have $329 million in payroll next season, have the financial flexibility to pursue him, especially given outfield concerns after Teoscar Hernández's struggles and Michael Conforto's departure. While the Cubs, who traded for Tucker in 2024, may seek to re-sign him, their spending history could limit their ability to match a top-tier offer. Other teams like the Red Sox, Phillies, and Giants are also potential suitors, but the Dodgers remain a leading contender due to their financial strength and need for offensive upgrades.
