Breaking News: Chicago Cubs Bob Nightingale Makes $500 Million Contract Deal For Another Top Star
Kyle Tucker, whom the Chicago Cubs acquired from the Houston Astros in December, signed a one-year, $16.5 million contract to avoid arbitration with his new club. But his big payday is coming; it’s just a matter of how big it will be.
“No one has made more money this first month of the season than Tucker, whose free-agent value has skyrocketed from $300 million to perhaps more than $500 million,” Nightengale wrote for USA Today.
In his first spring training with the Cubs, he went hitless for a long while and ultimately recorded just three hits in 37 plate appearances, which had some Chicago fans understandably worried that the team’s trade had backfired. Fortunately for them, as well as Tucker, he is batting .300 with an on-base percentage of .409 and a slugging percentage of .600 through 28 games. He has also hit 7 home runs and driven in 25 runs, making him one of the favorites to win this year’s NL MVP.
