Tucker&#8217;s contract expired after this season, and it doesn&#8217;t seem like the Cubs have much of a chance to re-sign him.<\/p>\n<p>The top teams in the sweepstakes for Tucker are reportedly the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, and Toronto Blue Jays. All three teams have a chance to offer Tucker a $400 million deal, but it&#8217;s unclear when his market will heat up.<\/p>\n<p>CBS Sports&#8217; Mike Axisa recently predicted Tucker would sign during the winter meetings this month, which would be quite a turn of events for the star outfielder.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"11170910\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225431939.jpg?w=1600&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 1536px, (min-width: 768px) 768px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225431939.jpg?w=640&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 640w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225431939.jpg?w=750&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 750w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225431939.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1000w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225431939.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1200w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225431939.jpg?w=1360&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1360w, https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/GettyImages-2225431939.jpg?w=1600&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1 1600w\" alt=\"Kyle Tucker projected to sign league-altering contract at winter meetings\" width=\"5121\" height=\"3414\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;According to our rankings, those top five free agents are\u00a0Kyle Tucker,\u00a0Alex Bregman,\u00a0Bo Bichette,\u00a0Framber Valdez, and\u00a0Kyle Schwarber\u00a0in that order. I boldly predict we&#8217;ll get a clean sweep and all five will sign in Orlando,&#8221; Axisa wrote. &#8220;That would be a rarity. Usually one or two top free agents hold out into the New Year. Bregman didn&#8217;t sign until February last offseason.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Two years ago, the Boras Four (Cody Bellinger,\u00a0Matt Chapman,\u00a0Jordan Montgomery,\u00a0Blake Snell) did not sign until camp opened. For one reason to another, a top free agent or two (or three) tends to still on the market come January. I don&#8217;t see it this year. Our top five free agents all agree to new contracts next week and avoid the game of contract chicken as spring training approaches.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing holding Tucker back from signing a massive contract this month. His market could heat up as quickly as the top teams are willing to part with their money.<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Jays have a realistic chance to land him after signing Dylan Cease, but it seems like the Los Angeles Dodgers could be the favorites. The Dodgers have enough money to steal the slugger from the Cubs without thinking twice. The Yankees could make waves in Tucker&#8217;s sweepstakes if they lose Cody Bellinger, but that idea is still up in the air.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>More MLB: Giants Predicted To Sign $30 Million Veteran Pitcher To Bolster Roster<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are a handful of teams left in the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes this offseason and they all have a chance to sign him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":129359,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-129346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83e\udde8 BREAKING REPORT: Kyle Tucker is now projected to land a league-altering megadeal at the Winter Meetings, sending shockwaves through front offices as rivals scramble to understand the sudden power shift.
