The Chicago Cubs outfielder shared his perspective on joining a new team as his success drives extension questions.

In his column for The Athletic, Ken Rosenthal gave Cubs fans reassurance that the Cubs’ roster would still be strong after Tucker’s departure. Still, according to him, the long-term outlook is not bright, noting there are five other players that will hit free agency after 2026.

In addition to Tucker's impending free agency this offseason, the Cubs could lose five more important players to the open market after 2026.
