Cubs receive massive update regarding possible re-signing of four-time All-Star Kyle Tucker<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a>. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Cubs<\/a> went into this offseason believing that their superstar, Kyle Tucker, was as good as gone this offseason as he looked for his mega deal. However, there may be a chance Tucker stays in right field at Wrigley in 2026.<\/p>\n

According to Fansided\u2019s Mark Powell<\/a>, Boras and Bregman need to realize that Bregman\u2019s market just isn\u2019t there, and most likely, they won\u2019t get the deal they\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe longer Tucker stays on the market, the worse his prospects of a long-term contract get. Tucker knows this. Executives know this. Even Tucker’s agent, Casey Close, surely knows this. All of that is why we shouldn’t expect Tucker to sign anytime soon, unless he’s chosen to alter his expectations. What do I mean by that? Well, Tucker is such a productive player that he has some options. He could take a high-AAV, short-term contract with the hopes of reaching free agency again next winter. Heck, that short-term deal could even include a player option or two just in case he doesn’t live up to expectations in a walk year\u2026Were he to re-sign with the Cubs for, say, a $50 million AAV over two years, or just over $40 million for three years, why should either side say no? \u201d Powell wrote.<\/p>\n

This past season, Tucker slashed .266\/.377\/.464\/.841 with 25 doubles, 22 home runs, and 73 RBI in 136 games played. He also earned his fourth All-Star nod and his second Silver Slugger.<\/p>\n

Powell is right about a short-term deal. The Cubs have made no major moves this offseason; if they can retain Tucker, even on a one- or two-year contract, that would shock the MLB. Plus, it would buy them a ton of credit with fans, and prepare them to be big spenders in 2026.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, the market continues playing out like this, so Chicago can swoop in and retain their franchise star.<\/p>\n
