Former Chicago Cubs and Houston Asteos star outfielder Kyle Tucker has agreed to a four-year, $240 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to multiple reports.
Tucker’s average annual value of $60 million would be the second highest in baseball history, excluding discounts, behind Shohei Ohtani’s $70 million under his 10-year contract with the Dodgers through 2033.
