The Los Angeles Dodgers, the "big hand" of Major League Baseball, eventually built an unprecedented "Earth Defense" lineup this winter, holding Kyle Tucker (29), an outfielder from the Chicago Cubs, one of the biggest free agents. He seems to be seriously trying to win three consecutive World Series titles.

Multiple sources, including Jeff Bankrupt, a reporter for US sports media ESPN, reported on the 16th (Korea Standard Time) that Kyle Tucker and the LA Dodgers agreed to a four-year contract worth $240 million (about 353.4 billion won). According to Jeff Bankruptcy, the contract reportedly includes opt-out provisions two and three years later, respectively, with an annual average of $60 million (AAV). This is the second highest salary in major league history after Shohei Ohtani ($70 million).

At the end of the 2025 season, Tucker was considered the best hitter among Major League FA players. He hit .266 (133 hits in 500 at-bats) with 22 homers and 73 RBIs in 136 games in the 2025 season. The on-base plus slugging ratio (OPS), an indicator of attack productivity, reaches 0.841. In particular, he has made more than 20 home runs for five consecutive years since the 2021 season. He hit 147 home runs in 769 games in the Major League. The overall OPS is also very compliant at 0.865.

In the end, the Dodgers had such a tucker. The Dodgers' weakness in the 2025 season was the offense of outfielders along with the bullpen. It was pointed out that Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman are somewhat less weighty than the infielders holding out. Shohei Ohtani effectively goes back and forth between the designated hitter and pitcher.

Tucker's trip to the Dodgers will allow him to form an excellent batting order leading to Ohtani-Bets-Freeman-Tucker. Four former MVPs or MVP-class hitters are expected to be forward-deployed only in the top lineup. Tucker has been selected as an All-Star for four consecutive years and has won the Gold Glove Award in the 2022 season, which is said to have a comprehensive defense capability.

In Major League history, the National League team has never lost three consecutive World Series games. There are only two teams in the Major League that have won three consecutive World Series titles. The New York Yankees and the Athletics (formerly the Oakland Athletics), both of whom belong to the American League. The Yankees also have a history of winning five consecutive games. But all of themThe Dodgers, who put together the final puzzle of just Kyle Tucker, are now all ready to set a milestone for the first three consecutive World Series losses in the 2026 National League season.
