There’s one thing about the upcoming offseason that has no suspense:
Kyle Tucker is the unquestioned best free agent in MLB.
There are lots of questions still to answer, namely:
Will Tucker stay with the Chicago Cubs? And how much money will he get?
MLB Trade Rumors writer Steve Adams thinks Tucker will surpass $400 million in total contract value and has a shot to get to $500 million.
Cubs fans will certainly want Tucker to stick around.
This season’s outfield has been brilliant with Tucker, Seiya Suzuki and Pete Crow-Armstrong.
Sure, it’s a lot of money, but the Cubs likely have it if they want to shell it out.
The big issue for Chicago is that Tucker is by far the best player available. Anybody planning to shell out big money this offseason will be looking at Tucker as the target, and that could result in a bidding war.
It’ll be a story to follow as the end of the season approaches, though. Tucker could always signal his intention about his Cubs future with some late-season comments. Stay tuned on this, because the money is coming soon.
