The thought of Kyle Tucker joining the Los Angeles Dodgers is exciting for one fan base and horrifying for 29.

Over the weekend, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported that rival executives were predicting that Tucker would sign with the Dodgers, the worst nightmare for Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, and San Francisco Giants fans.

Los Angeles hasn’t lived up to the billing as the scariest roster ever assembled, so building one that’s even scarier on paper for next season could be appealing. But to make room for Tucker, there would have to be some cuts made.

On Tuesday, Bleacher Report’s Joel Reuter predicted that the Dodgers would acquire Tucker — and that two-time All-Star third baseman Max Muncy would have his $10 million club option declined to make room for the signing.

“If the Dodgers are going to make a serious run at Kyle Tucker as expected, it will likely be accompanied by either shopping Andy Pages or shifting Tommy Edman to an infield spot,” wrote Reuter. “Edman could slot in at second base, but Hyeseong Kim has shown enough to warrant an expanded role. Declining a $10 million club option on Max Muncy would clear the hot corner, where Edman has logged 671 innings in his career.”

In theory, because decisions on club options have to be made before free agency really gets humming, this would be a risky gambit from the Dodgers. Muncy is a two-time All-Star, a respected veteran in the clubhouse, and a player who has worked hard to improve his defense enough to stick at third base.

On the other hand, though he’s posted a fantastic .873 OPS this season, Muncy certainly carries some injury concerns, and adding Tucker to the team and swapping in Edman at third could improve the defensive harmony.

There’s a lot for the Dodgers to consider, but they’ve got the spending power to try something bold.
