The Dodgers are expected to stage another "mad" recruitment battle.

U.S. media reported that the Dodgers are moving to recruit Kyle Tucker (Chicago Cubs) of $600 million and Paul Skins, a "monster pitcher."메이저놀이터

# Kyle Tucker

No matter how the 2025 season ends, it has been argued that the Dodgers are preparing to recruit Tucker.

Jim Borden of The Athletic recently said Tucker is expected to sign a significant contract worth more than $600 million this winter. "After Juan Soto signed a record $765 million contract in the free agency market and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. signed a $500 million extension, Tucker is expected to sign a nine-figure contract that starts with six," Borden said.

"Big market teams such as the Dodgers, Cubs, Phillies and Yankees are expected to target him," he said.

This season, Tucker has .278/.387/.552, 12 homers, 35 RBIs, and an OPS.939. The 28-year-old is a Silver Slugger, Gold Glover, and a three-time All-Star.

The Dodgers experienced a serious outfielder problem when Teoscar Hernandez and Tommy Edman were absent due to injuries.

AllJuss signed Michael Confoto to a one-year, $17 million contract last offseason. Manager Dave Roberts was confident that Confoto would play in a similar way to Hernandez's first season with the Dodgers. But even two months into the season, Confoto's performance was not ideal, with a .164 batting average, two homers, and six RBIs. However, in the past 10 games, Confoto has batted .265 with an OPS of .771. Still, the Dodgers will need a star outfielder with 2026 ahead, and Tucker is the perfect solution.

# Paul Skins

"Skinz and Pittsburgh fans deserve better," ESPN's Jeff Bankruptcy said on the recent "Pat McCoffee Show," adding, "What's the point of signing an extension with Pittsburgh right now? Pittsburgh has yet to show that it's worth accepting Skinz's extension."

Bankruptcy suggested several trade packages that the Dodgers could send to Pittsburgh: Dalton Rushing, Zihir Hope, Josue DePola, and Andy Pazs. Another idea suggested by Bankruptcy is to send Rushing, DePolar, Hope, Kellen Lindsay, River Lion and Kim Hye-sung to Pittsburgh.

Skins has emerged as a strong candidate for the National League Cy Young Award with a 2.44 ERA and a 0.941 WHIP in 10 starts this season.

Pittsburgh doesn't have the ability to hold on to Skins, so it might be best to trade him for prospects.

The Dodgers are a club that would risk that much bleeding if they could bring in Skins.

Pittsburgh vehemently denies the trade of Skins. However, strong denial can be positive. When the atmosphere matures, Pittsburgh will have no choice but to trade Skins. However, the timing may not be this year.
