The talented outfielder, one of the most coveted players in the free agent market, expressed his uncertainty after the loss in Game 5 of the National League Division Series against the Milwaukee Brewers.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll see what happens. I don\u2019t know what the future holds. If not, it was an honor to play with all these guys and I wish everyone the best of luck, whether playing next year or not with them. It\u2019s a really fun group to be a part of,\u201d Tucker stated.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Kyle Tucker<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nTucker, who could aim for a contract close to $400 million in free agency, agreed to a $16.5 million contract to avoid arbitration this season.\n\nThe arrival of Tucker, acquired via a trade with the Houston Astros before this season, boosted the Cubs&#8217; hopes for a deep postseason run. During the first part of the season, when Tucker stayed healthy and in good form, he was a solid 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. 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 his return from the hand injury, Tucker struggled at the plate, batting .218 in July and .244 in August.\n\nDespite this, he finished the season with a batting average of .266\/.377\/.464, with 22 home runs, 73 RBIs, and 25 stolen bases in 136 games, being selected for the All-Star Game with the Cubs. He returned in time for the playoffs and batted 7 for 27 with a home run and an RBI.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>\u201cIt meant a lot,\u201d first baseman Michael Busch told reporters. \u201cThe consistency at the plate, getting on base and driving in runs. He&#8217;s as complete a hitter as you can be. I think putting him in any lineup, he&#8217;ll be at the top. I think he&#8217;s one of the best hitters in the game. He can change that lineup just by putting him there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<cite>Michael Busch<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nBut the Cubs and Tucker, represented by Excel Sports Management, never reached an agreement for a long-term contract during the season.\n\n&#8220;I really don&#8217;t know right now,&#8221; Tucker said when asked if the Cubs have any advantage in signing him as a free agent. &#8220;I was more concerned about tonight&#8217;s game and everything. I&#8217;ll get through this today and worry about that a little later.&#8221;\n\n\u201cI think this team has a lot of talent. A great group of guys. And I can definitely see this team having a lot of success in the future\u201d.
