The Chicago Cubs have landed their superstar.
Veteran outfielder Kyle Tucker will call Wrigley Field home for the 2025 season, bringing his talent to the North Side.
Tucker is eager to embrace his new chapter with the Cubs.
"I'm excited," Tucker said. "Last year was the first time I played in Wrigley Field, throughout my big league career at least. Those fans love their Cubs. Now, obviously, I get to experience it from the home side, really get to experience the love that the city and the fans show their Cubs, and I am excited to get out there and start playing in front of them and showing what I can do to help them."
Tucker is confident he will have a memorable year playing at Wrigley Field.
"I don't think I could have gone to a much better organization than the Cubs, so I am excited to play in front of the fans, city, and everything else."
Tucker is open to possible extension talks with the Cubs.
"I'm always open to talks, see where it leads," Tucker said. I'm always open to that; you never know what the future's going to hold. In terms of that, kinda see how things progress throughout the next however long and see where it leads us, but I'm always open for talks and negotiations and just kinda seeing where that leads. Definitely, Chicago's a great city to play in, a great city just in general, so I'm open to anything."
Cubs fans can look forward to seeing Tucker bring his star power to Wrigley Field next season.
