Predicting the Dodgers lineup with Kyle Tucker: Where does the new outfielder fit for the champions?Tucker joins an impressive roster that already includes Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman
ESPN's Jeff Passan reports the Dodgers and Kyle Tucker are in agreement on a contract.The two-time defending World Series champions have added another superstar. It's a phenomenal landing spot for the perennial 25-homer, 25-steal threat as he'll join the Dodgers' certifiable Death Star lineup alongside Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman. Tucker's extensive track record as an elite five-category fantasy contributor speaks for itself, and he remains a locked-in second-round pick in drafts this spring. He's the rare all-around hitter whose production largely transcends park factors, though relocating to Dodger Stadium represent a tangible boost to both his over-the-fence power in addition to significant counting stats upside. Durability is the lone blemish on an otherwise pristine profile, as Tucker has navigated consecutive injury-marred seasons, including playing through a fractured hand with the Cubs last year and a prior three-month absence due to a shin fracture during his final season with the Astros. The 28-year-old has decided to take his talents to Los Angeles after weighing offers from the Blue Jays and Mets.
