"MLB.com's Mark Feinsand linked the Dodgers, New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants, and Philadelphia Phillies to the slugging outfielder, and there is quite a case for each team. Tucker, a four-time All-Star, finished last season hitting .266 with an OPS of .841, adding 22 home runs and 75 RBIs. He didn't have his best stats in 2025, but dealt with a hairline fracture in his hand suffered in June and a calf strain in September."
"LA is looking as strong as ever given the fact that they are four wins away from becoming baseball's first back-to-back champions in a quarter century, but the outfield was easily the weakest part of the Dodgers' offense this season. With Michael Conforto being brought in on a one-year, $17 million deal, he proved to be one of the biggest disappointments for LA."
"Teoscar Hernández, despite being electrifying in the postseason thus far (four home runs and an .888 OPS), had a down year during regular season play. The right fielder hit .247 this season, his lowest batting average since 2019 as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. His OPS+ of 103 was also the lowest it has been since that same season."
The Los Angeles Dodgers are a leading candidate to pursue outfielder Kyle Tucker this offseason as a clear upgrade for a weak outfield. The Dodgers, New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants, and Philadelphia Phillies are linked to Tucker. Tucker is a four-time All-Star who hit .266 with a .841 OPS, 22 home runs and 75 RBIs, and he battled a hairline hand fracture in June and a calf strain in September. Michael Conforto underperformed after a one-year, $17 million signing, and Teoscar Hernández produced weaker regular-season numbers and poor defensive Outs Above Average metrics.
