60 million for a right fielder who hit .266 with 22 dingers.
Crazy. Absolutely bonkers.

Honestly pretty crazy the way deferrals have become how LA does business and nobody else seems to use them at all

Imagine what he would’ve gotten if he was actually a star.
Baseball is so completely screwed.

Just add it to the tab

This kinda contract for the what, 3rd~4th best player on your team is an absolute joke and such an embarrassment to this sport

Man MLB is a complete joke

Being a fan of like 27 teams is completely pointless in MLB

This guy is not even a $30 million a year guy

“Any team could have done this why didn’t they?” – Dodger fan probably
Seriously damn this is just a more harsh reality check for fans in a small market team you can’t compete with these big markets with the current system.

They would sign bichette next just to really make a point

BREAKING: Every player in MLB history has signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers

$64m signing bonus? This whole thing is mind-boggling. It seems like he was dead set on another team, and they were dead set on ripping him away. I’m also going to go ahead and assume those opt-outs are not going to come close to being used.

Weird absence of dodger flairs in these threads 🤔

Watching baseball for non-Dodgers fans for the next few years will be like watching F1 in 2020 as a fan of any other team besides Mercedes Benz.

Better enjoy baseball in 2026 because it might not be around in 2027.

The Dodgers overpaid him.

What??? $60 mil/AAV for a right fielder who hit .266 , 22 HR’s & an .840 OPS??
Just silly at this point. But the joke is on fans. Ultimately, they’re paying most of it

And Tigers offered $19M to 2-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. If Skubal was a FA today, he’d easily get $60M AAV.

Including an opt out is laughable. He’d have to be on drugs to think he’s getting paid that much anywhere else

The easiest way to break down this contract is simple.
They overpaid. Period.
No knock on Tucker, but that’s stupid money. The Dodgers overpaid because they can, not because they were dumb. This wasn’t just about signing Tucker, it was also about making sure nobody else signed him.
When you have more money than God, it doesn’t matter what it costs to win, it’s all pocket change

Goodbye 2027.
Yeah there isn’t going to be a 2027 season.

Who would opt out of this deal? lol. He hit 22 homers last year…
I remember when 3 million a year was unheard of for Jose Canseco. This shit is why 1 beer is $20. Fans end up getting the shaft.
Baseball is completely broken…
The new CBA talks are about to be a war because of stuff like this.
