Kyle Tucker Retains Top Free Agent Ranking Amidst Cold Stretch

Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker, 29, remains at the top of the 2025-26 free-agency rankings despite experiencing an extended cold stretch, having hit just one home run since July 1. This slump is more impactful for the Chicago Cubs, who now trail the Brewers by 3.5 games in the NL Central, than it is for Tucker's secure market value. Given his track record and age, he is still expected to eclipse the $300 million mark in free agency.
