"SAN JOSE - The Los Angeles Dodgers were having a quiet offseason by their lofty standards. Then, they set the baseball world on fire. Again. On Thursday evening, news broke that the Dodgers agreed to a four-year, $240 million pact with four-time All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker. Even with deferrals, Tucker's average annual value of $57.1 million becomes the highest in MLB history, shattering the record that Juan Soto ($51 million) set last season."
""They're always going to have a target on their back," top prospect Bryce Eldridge said Saturday before the Giants' first stop of their FanFest Tour. "Being their rivals, I take pride in wanting to beat them and beat the best. To be the best, you've got to beat the best. I know that's an old saying, but it's the truth. You got to go up against the best competition, and thankfully, our division is very good and that's going to make us that much better.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers landed outfielder Kyle Tucker on a four-year, $240 million contract, producing an average annual value of $57.1 million — the highest in MLB history, surpassing Juan Soto’s $51 million. The team previously signed three-time All-Star closer Edwin Díaz to a three-year, $69 million deal to address postseason bullpen weaknesses; Díaz’s $23 million AAV set a reliever record and projects to roughly 65 innings if healthy. The roster now reads as the most complete Dodgers team in a decade, with no glaring weaknesses on paper, increasing competitive pressure across the division.
