Kyle Tucker’s Future in Play After Cubs’ Elimination<\/h2>\n\nAfter the elimination of the Chicago Cubs, speculation about Kyle Tucker’s future begins to gain momentum.\n\nTucker, one of the most sought-after players in the free agency market, expressed his uncertainty after the loss in Game 5 of the National League Division Series against the Milwaukee Brewers.\n\n\n
\n

“We’ll see what happens,” said Tucker, who could be looking at a contract of around $400 million in free agency. “I don’t know what the future holds. If not, it was an honor to play with all these guys and I wish them the best of luck, whether playing next year or not with them. It’s a really fun group to be a part of.”<\/p>\n\nKyle Tucker<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe arrival of Tucker, acquired via a trade from the Houston Astros before this season, boosted the Cubs’ hopes of a deep postseason run. When Tucker was healthy and in form at the start of the season, he was a viable MVP candidate and a catalyst in a dynamic and varied offense.\n\nHowever, Tucker, who will turn 29 in January, suffered a fractured right hand in June and a calf strain in September, while the Brewers won the National League Central Division by five games over the Cubs, who earned the first wild card spot with a 92-70 record.\n\nAfter returning from the hand injury, Tucker struggled at the plate, batting .218 in July and .244 in August.\n\nEven so, he batted .266\/.377\/.464 on the season with 22 home runs, 73 RBIs, and 25 stolen bases in 136 games, earning an All-Star nomination for the Cubs. He returned in time for the playoffs and went 7-for-27 with a home run and an RBI.\n\n\n

“It meant a lot,” first baseman Michael Busch told reporters. “The consistency at the plate, getting on base and driving in runs. He’s as complete a hitter as you can get. I think putting him in any lineup, he’ll be at the top. I think he’s one of the best hitters in the game. He can change that lineup just by putting him in there.”<\/p>\n\nMichael Busch<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nBut the Cubs and Tucker, represented by Excel Sports Management, never reached an agreement on a long-term contract as the season progressed.\n\n“I really don’t know right now,” Tucker said when asked if the Cubs have any advantage in signing him as a free agent. “I was more concerned about tonight’s game and everything. I’ll get through this today and worry about that a little later.”\n\n“I think this team is really very talented. A great group of guys. And I can definitely see that this team will have a lot of success in the future.”","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
