Here’s what people have been saying about Tucker:
@ejone0508: “His decline has been obvious for years and no way he ever should have been offered the money he got. Especially when you have so much talent in the minors. Pages is only the first of many OFS that can play”
@tsujops: “Why did they give him so much money??”
@huang8414: “Worst contract ever in Dodgers history”
@Gruntbaseball: “So glad the Yankees brought Cody Bellinger back and didnt sign Kyle Tucker”
Tucker has also had stops with the Houston Astros and Chicago Cubs over nine MLB seasons.
He helped Houston win the 2022 World Series.
