Send us a textOK, Let’s start with the recent signing of Kyle Tucker…What do you think?Are you kidding me? WTF is going on with BASEBALL? Kyle Tucker's Contract with the Dodgers…Duration: 4 yearsTotal Value: $240 millionAverage Annual Value: $57.1 million (record-setting)Signing Bonus: $64 million (with $54 million paid upfront)Deferred Money: $30 millionOpt-Out Clauses: After the 2nd and 3rd yearsFinancial ImplicationsThe Dodgers will incur a significant luxury tax due to exceeding the highest threshold, resulting in an annual cost of approximately $119.9 million for Tucker.The contract structure, including deferrals, helps lessen the immediate luxury tax impact.The Dodgers will lose their third and sixth-highest draft picks due to Tucker rejecting a qualifying offer from the Cubs, as well as previous losses from signing closer Edwin Díaz.So, yes that is an INSANE contract. Especially because I would like to know how in the world is Kyle Tucker valued at $57.1 million dollar contract per year? Seriously? How did THIS number magically get presented?Kyle Tucker's agent is Casey Close, who is associated with Excel Sports Management and I think he did a GREAT job is cloning Scott Boras!Join us for more...
