The Dodgers' new star explained his decision to join Los Angeles instead of Toronto during a recent interview. "I was just trying to make the most of the rest of my career," Tucker said. "You don't play this game forever, so I was trying to make the most out of it wherever I felt the best landing spot was for me and my family. That was California."
While Tucker didn't explicitly state it, his comments suggest he believes the Dodgers offer a better opportunity to win a World Series than the Blue Jays. The four-year, $240 million deal with opt-outs continues to position Los Angeles as perennial championship contenders in MLB.
