Kyle Tucker Joins Dodgers on Record Deal, Prioritizes Family Over WBC

AutoDraft Pro AI

New Dodgers right fielder Kyle Tucker, who signed a four-year, $240 million contract making him the highest-paid player this season, made his Cactus League debut Sunday. He grounded out and walked, aiming to surpass his one spring hit from last year. Tucker, 29, is feeling "pretty healthy" after playing through a hairline fracture and calf strain last season with the Cubs, which led to career lows in average and homers. He declined a WBC offer to be with his wife, who is expecting their first child, and is content to fit in quietly among the Dodgers' stars.
