Could Astros All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker be a fit for the Philadelphia Phillies? According to one report, the Phillies are among the teams interested in trading for the Houston right fielder.<\/p>\n

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Philadelphia is among the teams that “at least inquired and tried to find a package that would work with the Astros.”<\/p>\n

Houston is “prioritizing major league-ready corner infielders and starting pitching” if it moves Tucker, Sherman reported.<\/p>\n

The report comes days after Astros general manager Dana Brown said he would “listen on anybody.”<\/p>\n

According to The Athletic, Houston has received trade interest on Tucker and is open to him or pitcher Framber Valdez.<\/p>\n

Tucker, who turns 28 in January, is one year away from free agency. In October, MLBTradeRumors projected the outfielder would make over $15 million in his final trip through arbitration.<\/p>\n

A 2015 first-round pick, Tucker is coming off his third straight All-Star season, though a shin injury forced him to miss a good portion of the campaign. He finished 2024 with a 4.7 WAR and hit .289 with a .993 OPS with 23 home runs and 49 RBIs in 78 games.<\/p>\n

In his career, Tucker won a Silver Slugger Award in 2023 and a Gold Glove in 2022. Over the past four seasons, Tucker has 112 homers and a. 888 OPS.<\/p>\n

The Phillies are reportedly in the market for an upgrade in the outfield, so Tucker would theoretically fit as a target.<\/p>\n

For the second straight postseason, Philadelphia’s lineup was exposed for its high chase and pull rates.<\/p>\n

Tucker doesn’t strike out and gets on base \u2014 he walked more than he struck out in 2024 (56 to 54).<\/p>\n

Statcast shows Tucker having a 17.5% chase rate last season. Five Phillies’ regulars had a chase percentage above 30 in 2024. Kyle Schwarber’s 20.9% was the best on the team \u2014 he also led the team in strikeouts (197).<\/p>\n

On paper, Tucker would help balance the Phillies’ swing-balance lineup while adding more power and a strong fielder.<\/p>\n

The holdup, however, is what it would cost to acquire Tucker.<\/p>\n

Andrew Painter appears to be the only “untouchable” prospect in the Philadelphia system. Still, the club doesn’t seem inclined to trade touted shortstop\/third base prospect Aidan Miller \u2014 especially for a rental. Does it make sense to trade Miller for a player who may walk in free agency next winter?<\/p>\n

Could the Phils and Astros find a match in a package headlined by third baseman Alec Bohm or starter Ranger Suarez? Philadelphia has reportedly made both available this offseason, though manager Rob Thomson said the club isn’t “shopping” Bohm.<\/p>\n

“Because he’s a good player, there’s a whole lot of interest in him from other teams,” Thomson told reporters via The Athletic. “Obviously, you have to do your homework and talk to people and listen.”<\/p>\n

Do the Phillies have what it takes to acquire Tucker? Perhaps, but a match seems difficult to envision since Tucker will likely cost a big package and is one year away from hitting free agency<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
