Why the Yankees Need to Pursue Kyle Tucker in Free Agency
The Yankees have a hole in left field after Cody Bellinger opted out of his contract, becoming a free agent. While they could re-sign Bellinger, who hit 29 home runs and played excellent defense, they should consider Kyle Tucker to add star talent and roster depth.
The team got value from Bellinger's $25 million contract, but his return wouldn't significantly impact their window. In contrast, signing Tucker could make the Yankees' best team in the Aaron Judge era, although it would be more expensive and might limit future signings.
