The Los Angeles Dodgers and four-time All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker agreed to a four-year, $240-million contract, sources told Robert Murray of FanSided.

The deal includes opt-out clauses after the second and third years, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

The 28-year-old's reported average annual value of $60 million will be the second highest in baseball, trailing only new teammate Shohei Ohtani.

Tucker, who was widely considered the top available free agent, reportedly met with the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets before picking the Dodgers.

The two-time defending World Series champions have now added Tucker and Edwin Díaz this offseason in an attempt to become the first team to win three straight titles since the New York Yankees from 1998-2000.

Tucker, a Gold Glove winner in 2022, owns a .273/.358/.507 slash line with 147 home runs, 490 RBIs, and 119 steals in eight seasons between the Houston Astros and Chicago Cubs.
