MLB analyst taps Kim Kardashian’s iconic line to predict Kyle Tucker’s Chicago Cubs future

Despite trading for Kyle Tucker earlier this winter, the Chicago Cubs are still far from securing a long-term deal with him. Analyst Trevor Plouffe, on Friday's episode of Baseball Today, suggested that the 28-year-old outfielder might head to free agency next year. Tucker, the Cubs' biggest offseason acquisition, is currently in the final year of his contract. Plouffe even quoted Kim Kardashian's iconic line to describe Tucker's uncertain future:

"What does Kim Kardashian say, 'I didn't come this far just to come this far'? You ever hear that? So, he going to test free agency. He deserves that... I am sorry Cubs fans." (Timestamp: 31:16 - 34:53)

"I think it's going to be a great relationship. I think they're going to get exactly what they wanted out of this guy, which is a top 5 bat in baseball, a top 5 possibly player in baseball. It's going to be great, but he ain't signing at extension. That guys is tersting free agency, no doubt about it. Doesn't mean he can't sign back."

Over the past seven seasons with the Houston Astros, Kyle Tucker has established himself as one of the top players in the MLB. He's already made three All-Star appearances and won the World Series once. It is therefore no surprise that the Cubs were eager to trade for him this winter.

However, as he enters the final years of his contract, there are three possibilities regarding Kyle Tucker's future: Sign with the Cubs, get traded on deadline day, or enter free agency at the end of 2025. While recent trends indicate he might opt for free agency, a successful season in Chicago could change his mind.

Kyle Tucker shares his experience of playing at Wrigley Field last season

Chicago Cubs fans have good reason to be excited about the 2025 MLB season after adding Kyle Tucker to their roster. He is one of the top players in the majors and makes a valuable addition to the lineup. Tucker recently attended the 2025 Cubs Convention and shared his experience playing at Wrigley Field last season:

"It's pretty special... obviously I wasn't on the home side of it, I was on the away side of things but you still get to feel the atmosphere the crowd brings to the stadium."

The future is looking bright for Tucker and the Cubs as they enter the new season as favorites to win NL Central. While his long-term future remains uncertain, Tucker will be eager to make the most of the upcoming season with his new team.
