The Deal

The Mets had offered Tucker a competing four-year, $220 million deal but missed out—the Dodgers landed the prized free agent 18 hours before the Mets pivoted to Bo Bichette. Tucker, 29, has been one of baseball's most consistent outfield producers: .273 career average, 147 home runs, 490 RBIs, 119 stolen bases. He won a Gold Glove in 2022, a Silver Slugger in 2023, and helped the Astros to a World Series title in 2022.

AthX Impact

Tucker's move to the Dodgers significantly boosts his fantasy value. The Dodgers' lineup provides more RBI opportunities, and their home ballpark favors hitters. Expect Tucker's projected points and price to increase on AthX. Early investors may see significant gains if he performs well in his new environment.
