Free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker is still available on the open market, and the Dodgers are seemingly emerging as a realistic landing spot.

Tucker, however, is reportedly seeking a 10-year deal that pays him more than $300 million, creating a natural standstill between the Dodgers and the player.
