Kyle Tucker to the Dodgers & A Three-Team Trade!
In an emergency bonus pod, Eno and DVR discuss Kyle Tucker's move to the Dodgers on a four-year, $240M deal. While the deal breaks the previous record for Average Annual Value, it also affords Tucker the opportunity to return to free agency with opt-outs after Years 2 and 3. They also discuss the potential risk of building an older, star-filled roster.
Plus, they Angels, Rays and Reds make a three-team trade giving Gavin Lux a fresh start in Tampa Bay, and the Rockies add Willi Castro to the mix.
