"For me and the people I talked to about how he goes about it, there's nothing negative about it. I love guys who just come to work and value playing and love playing and competing. He just wants to win. He's not a self-promoter. He's not going to give you guys a lot of great sound bites. He wants to play to win. I love guys like that."
"Tucker was with the team early on, dating back to the first day that position players reported for the preseason. He took part in live batting practices and played in four spring games before leaving. Thus far, he is one for seven with four walks and a strikeout, regularly leaving games early to get depth players some at-bats."
Kyle Tucker, the Dodgers' highest-paid player after deferrals, is away from Spring Training for the birth of his first child. He participated in early preseason activities, including live batting practices and four spring games, before departing. Tucker recorded one hit in seven at-bats with four walks and a strikeout during his limited appearances. Multiple Dodgers players have balanced parenthood with their careers this season, including Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, who prioritized family over World Baseball Classic participation. Manager Dave Roberts supports Tucker's work ethic and demeanor, praising his competitive spirit and focus on winning rather than self-promotion.
