Kyle Tucker

[homer]

Rumored to be on the market. What would it take to get him? A lot.

[Scooterfletcher]

He’s only controllable for two years but I’d prefer to get him with our best Crochet offer over getting Crochet.   
 

I think the right move is to find a good Devin deal though and after that, maybe Mark likes the team outlook enough for us to go hard after someone like Flaherty or Kim and Goldschmidt both.  
 

Not the year to deal our prospects for two years of a guy imo though.

[homer]

Yeah I think Tucker is going to get an extension to whatever team trades for him. And that extension will be for a lot of money.

One year actually. Projected for $16M in Arby's then hitting free agency.

If he hits around his projections this year (148 wRC+ | 5.5 WAR) he'll be entering free agency at age 29 with a wRC+ north of 140 for his career and something like 26-27 WAR.

Should be the next $300M man.

Hate to say it but this has the Cubs written all over it.

They definitely have the minor league depth to trade for him, but I'm not so sure the Ricketts would pony up to extend him beyond his one year of remaining team control.

I actually think this has Yankees written over it as a replacement for Soto, and they’d probably be the front runners to resign him.

Cubs and Yankees are the two teams I've seen in the rumor mill.

Id be ok with the cubs emptying prospects for Tucker, then trading Bellinger cheaper than they should.   They watch Cody outperform Tucker and Cubs stay in. Anonymity.
