Glad the Cubs didn’t bite.
I mean I don’t blame the dodgers for taking advantage of the situation but it needs to be more fair. Or it’s just going to get non competitive and people will stop watching the game. Will destroy the league overall. Fans will stop going to games. Will stop buying MLB shows and streams. Won’t be good for anyone.
Tucker is going to have a monster two years as the #4 guy in that lineup. Absolute perfect situation for his personality.
Then he's going to opt out and get his $400M from somebody

.850 OPS, 30+ HR, 30 doubles, 120 RBI, 25 SB
With his defense, that's a 5 WAR year.
He's going to hit 3rd with Ohtani and Betts in front of him and on base all the time with Freeman, Smith and Edman to protect him. I mean that lineup is so stacked that either Muncy or Hernandez are going to hit 9th.
Dodgers hit over 1 billion revenue last year.
That is nuts, team value + revenue would put them at like #499/500 in the fortune 500
I agree he’s solid offensively, but he’s not a great defender. Honestly, I have no idea how he won a Gold Glove.
Oh I agree but he'll be slightly positive dWAR like he has been. The offense and base running are worth 4+ WAR alone.
Derek Jeter won 4 Gold Glove but the metrics show she is one of the worst shortstops of his generation.
5 WAR definitely isn’t worth $60m as far as value goes, the dodgers just don’t care.
Probably depends how many games he plays, but the guy can rake, he's basically good for .850+ OPS every season so far, I just think he's only worth $60m to the one team with the infinite money glitch.
Tucker will hit .268 with 23 homers and 70 RBIs and that’s what the dodgers will get.
Had years of .294, .284 and .289. Went 30, 30, 29, 23 (in 78 games) in his last 4 years in Houston.
OPS .917, .808, .886, .993 his last 4 years in Houston and was .841 in a 'down' year last year.
He also walks more than he strikes out.
He's an absolutely elite bat.
That said, I agree with Jed not giving that to him. Only bad things come from trying to match money with the Dodgers.
Yanks will bear down and get Belli re-signed now, Jays will do the same with Bichette. Mets left holding the bag, lulz.
