Dodgers Notes: LA ‘Loves’ Kyle Tucker’, Shohei Ohtani $700M Contract Already Paid for Itself, More

The New York Post's Jon Heyman reports the Los Angeles Dodgers are interested in All-Star free agent Kyle Tucker, and that they could pay a huge sum to bring the star to LA.

"The Dodgers could install Tucker in right field and move Teoscar Hernández to left, giving them a potentially productive outfield to go along with the game’s most star-studded infield," Heyman wrote. "The one tiny negative is that Tucker is a left-handed hitter, which would make them slightly unbalanced."

The Dodgers are no stranger to big contracts, offering $700 million to Shohei Ohtani two offseasons ago. Reporter Joon Lee, however, says Ohtani's contract is already paid off after ticket sales, merchandise and marketing deals.

To my @Dodgers, it’s time to get back to work, block out the noise, remember no distractions, and focus on having a good week of practice and preparation for Game 1 of the World Series!
