Dodgers outfielder Kyle Tucker explained his decision to join Los Angeles over the Toronto Blue Jays during free agency. Tucker, who signed a four-year, $240 million deal with opt-outs after the second and third seasons, stated he was trying to 'make the most of the rest of my career' and felt California was the best landing spot for him and his family.
While not explicitly stated, Tucker's comments suggest he believed the Dodgers offered a better opportunity to win a World Series than the Blue Jays. The decision continues the Dodgers' strategy of positioning themselves as perennial championship contenders with major offseason signings.
