The future of star Kyle Tucker is becoming the center of attention in the MLB market as reputable sources predict that he will leave the Chicago Cubs to sign a huge contract with a new team. After an impressive 2025 season, Tucker is considered one of the most complete foreign players in the league, and his entry into free agency promises to create fierce competition among the big guys.
Last season, Tucker played outstandingly with a .266/.377/.464 line, recording 22 home runs, 73 RBI and 25 stolen bases in 136 games. He showed a stable offensive ability, along with a rare flexible playing style. However, the Cubs are unlikely to be able to retain him due to financial constraints — the team has never spent more than $200 million on a free agent, while experts predict Tucker will receive a contract in the range of $350 million to over $400 million.
According to sources, the three top teams “in the race” are the New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers. The Yankees are looking for a top-class foreign player to boost their offensive power after a disappointing season, while the Blue Jays are said to be ready to “open the coffers” to add a new star to compete for the title. As for the Dodgers, they still maintain strong financial potential and have a habit of not hesitating to spend on big names when they see fit for their long-term strategy.
If the deal goes through, it will not only be a blockbuster financial contract but also a symbolic one for the team that owns Tucker. A player at his peak can instantly change the team’s lineup — providing a powerful outfield presence, improving offensive stats, and generating a huge media buzz among fans. However, the high value of the contract can also become a barrier, creating budgetary issues and performance pressure for both sides.
With his all-round ability, consistent performance, and strong commercial appeal, Kyle Tucker is in a position to dominate the free market. Although there is still room for the Cubs to negotiate, experts believe that a “monster” contract from another major team is waiting for him ahead. If that comes true, this deal could become the biggest focus of the MLB offseason — and a shake-up that shakes the entire league.
