Cubs' Kyle Tucker Gets $500 Million Contract Prediction After Dodgers News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When the Chicago Cubs traded for Kyle Tucker last offseason, they had to have understood that he would be a ton of money on the free agency market.

"Kyle Tucker is a player you want to have for a long time," Hoyer said. "He's been one of the best players in baseball this year."

Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer maintained his stance on keeping contract negotiations out of the public sphere. But on Tuesday he acknowledged the obvious: “At some point” the Cubs will talk with three-time All-Star Kyle Tucker’s agent Casey Close about a possible extension.
