The Chicago Cubs have signed outfielder Kyle Tucker to a $16.5 million contract for the 2025 season, resolving salary negotiations and avoiding arbitration. This agreement comes after the Cubs traded for Tucker in December. Tucker, a three-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner, had a unique situation due to an injury that limited him to 78 games last season. His performance raised questions about how to evaluate his worth for the upcoming season. With the contract settled, Tucker will attend the Cubs' fan convention this weekend. The agreement opens the door for potential long-term contract discussions before he becomes a free agent next year.
