LOS ANGELES — In the wake of another championship, which made them the first Major League Baseball team in a quarter century to repeat, the Los Angeles Dodgers mostly downplayed their ability to dominate another offseason. They believed their roster was already good enough, and they vowed to let the market come to them rather than chase stars aggressively.
Kyle Tucker, the consensus best player available in free agency, agreed to join the Dodgers on Thursday, sources told ESPN, a little more than a month after star closer Edwin Diaz did the same. Tucker's deal is for four years at $240 million and includes opt-outs after the second and third seasons, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan and Jesse Rogers.

The structure of the deal (not just the number) signals how aggressively the Mets are willing to reshape the market.
Tucker, 29 on Saturday, is the consensus top free agent this winter and has drawn interest from numerous teams, with reports linking him to the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays, among others. Tucker was spotted visiting the Blue Jays’ spring training facility in Dunedin, Fla. in early December, as FanSided first reported.

The powerful, formidable Dodgers, who have now become Exhibit 1-A in MLB’s argument that baseball needs a salary cap.
