"I would think Tucker would be more [likely]. I just think there's more of a space for him. Teoscar Hernandez is a free agent in a year. They kind of mix and match with the outfield. So I would think he'd be perfect there. If you want Bichette, do you then go and ask Betts to move back into right field? Not sure if you do that. I think he deserves respect to play where he wants right now."
"The Dodgers have a clear need in the outfield, especially in the corner spots, as Andy Pages has taken over the center field spot. One of the corner spots would be taken up by Teoscar Hernandez next season, though his defensive problems mean he will need someone to provide competition and push him. At the other corner spot, there was a rotating cast of players."
Kyle Tucker represents a cleaner fit for the Los Angeles Dodgers than Bo Bichette because of the team's outfield configuration and needs. Teoscar Hernandez will be a free agent in a year and his defensive issues create a need for competition. Mookie Betts currently plays a preferred spot that moving him from could be disruptive. Andy Pages has taken over center field, leaving corner outfield spots available. Michael Conforto failed to produce offensively during the regular season while Enrique Hernandez handled a corner role in the postseason. Kiké Hernandez is expected to return as a utility player, but the team needs an everyday starter.
