CHICAGO — Kyle Tucker was well aware of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s massive contract. He just wasn’t sure how it would impact him.
A day after Guerrero agreed to a 14-year, $500 million contract with Toronto that begins in 2026, Tucker insisted he is focusing more on the immediate future than whether he will remain with the Chicago Cubs after this season.
“I’m sure he loves playing in Toronto,” Tucker said before a 7-0 win over Texas. “It’s great for him. I mean, everyone’s a little different. Right now, I’m here to play this year. I’m excited to get out again and play tonight, just kind of see where everything goes after that.
