In the context of the 2025-2026 winter season heating up with a series of high-profile deals, the name Kyle Tucker — currently one of the most promising free agents in MLB — suddenly “smoked” when appearing continuously on the Dodgers’ top target lists. According to many analysts, Tucker’s combination of speed, power and championship desire could turn next year into a historic turning point — if he decides to choose the Dodgers as his new home.
Tucker is no stranger — he had an impressive 2025 season with the Chicago Cubs: .266 batting average, 22 home runs and 25 stolen bases.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg: Tucker’s well-rounded skillset and his impact on and off the field make him one of the most difficult players in MLB right now.

For the Dodgers — who just successfully defended their championship title — Tucker’s weakness in the outfield after a tumultuous season makes him a prime target. They need someone who can provide a breakthrough: hitting power, running speed, and most importantly — top-level experience to conquer a third consecutive championship.
While the “dream contract” is in sight, the road to Dodger Stadium is still thorny. According to the latest report, Dodgers management is cautious — they are not ready to sign Tucker to a “decade” contract, preferring shorter-term commitments with higher AAV.
Plus, with Tucker’s salary target — which could be in the hundreds of millions — some experts say the Dodgers could walk away if the market explodes. They are now considering a flexible option: use in-house players, wait for young talent to develop, or grab another “stop‑gap” if a reasonable deal cannot be reached.

If Tucker does join the Dodgers, the combination of him and stars like Mookie Betts, plus a strong playing system, could completely write a new chapter for the team: a true dynasty — with a “three‑peat” World Series, and perhaps a new era of MLB dominance.
Tucker — with his speed + power + consistency — would add the right piece that the Dodgers are missing. And more importantly: he brings with him the desire — the desire to “destroy baseball,” as the article’s title once suggested — the desire to win, the desire to become an icon. If everything clicks — the summer of 2026 in Los Angeles promises to be explosive.
