Full details on Kyle Tucker's Dodgers contract, per ESPN sources:
- 4 years, $240 million guaranteed
- Opt-outs after Years 2 and 3
- $64M signing bonus
- $30M deferred
- $57.1M a year in net present value after factoring in deferrals -- a record by $6M+
A staggering deal.
With $30M deferred, Kyle Tucker's 4 year, $240M contract should come with a present day tax hit of around $57M.
This means the #Dodgers currently carry a projected $413M tax payroll in 2026, $96M more than the 2nd place Mets, & $313M more than the bottom ranked Marlins.

Spoke with the owner of a prominent Toronto bar who says last night was their best for business since the Raptors championship in 2019. The #4Nations finale stopped the city in a way few events can, and I imagine that story played out elsewhere across the nation, too.
The NHL and NHLPA are forecasting significant salary cap bumps on the current $88M ceiling in the coming years. It's a great time to be hitting free agency.
2025-26: $95.5M
2026-27: $104M
2027-28: $113.5M

Team Canada's management group for 4 Nations met in Toronto back-to-back days this week and came out of it with a consensus list of players that was shortened down. But there remains still some significant, last few roster decisions to be made ahead of the Dec. 2 deadline.
Quick note to address rumours about a QMJHL team moving to Newfoundland.
I can confirm there is a group interested in purchasing the Acadie-Bathurst Titan who firmly want the team relocated to St. John’s Newfoudland as early as next season.....
