Kyle Tucker's Contract Serves as Blueprint for Tarik Skubal Deal

Kyle Tucker's previous contract structure with the Los Angeles Dodgers is being cited by ESPN MLB insider Buster Olney as a potential model for prized free agent pitcher Tarik Skubal. Tucker, who signed a massive deal with the Dodgers, previously earned a high salary adjusted to $81 million for the upcoming season, setting a high financial watermark that league insiders believe Skubal's historic upcoming free agent contract could closely mirror in terms of structure and high AAV.
