The Los Angeles Dodgers made one of the biggest moves of the offseason when they signed Kyle Tucker to a four-year, $240 million contract.
Tucker, a four-time All-Star, joined an already star-studded group that includes former MVP winners Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, as well as Will Smith, Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernández.
Tucker is expected to bat second for the Dodgers and will look to complement their lineup with his five-tool ability, which manager Dave Roberts believes could put him in the conversation for National League MVP honors.
Roberts said his biggest hope for Tucker this season is getting on base at a high percentage, via Bill Plunkett of the Southern California News Group:
“For me, I just see him as a guy if he gets on base, however he gets on base, that’s the biggest – that’s something we’re looking for and something we’re counting on,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of the role he envisions for Kyle Tucker.
