In a recent update for MLB Network, Major League Baseball insider Jon Heyman revealed he had interviewed Tucker this past weekend and provided an update on the star's outlook on an extension with the Cubs.

The Los Angeles Dodgers "plan to jump into the free-agency fray" for Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker this winter, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.

In an article posted Tuesday, Passan listed the Cubs right-fielder and Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz as the two players in his $500 million mega-contract tier, with only Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson ahead in the $600 million tier.
