Cole Tucker has set himself up for an early start to the offseason after electing for free agency at the beginning of October. He joined a number of players opting to pursue their future in the free-agent market, including Resse McGuire of the Boston Red Sox and Cole Irvin of the Minnesota Twins.
It was another disappointing year from a professional standpoint for Tucker, who failed to make much of an impact at the major league level. That being said, the 24 games that he appeared in for the Los Angeles Angels were the most he had played in at the MLB level since 2021, so that was a positive aspect.

However, he only managed to produce a .180 batting average with no home runs and 3 RBI. Although he may not have been Shohei Ohtani at the plate this year, Cole Tucker showcased his optimism for the offseason on his Instagram account. The 27-year-old utilityman will now look to lock down a new contract with a club for the 2025 season.
While he may not be starring in the postseason, he is certainly winning at life. He is the husband of singer and actress Vanessa Hudgens, star of the hit movie High School Musical. It's clear that Vanessa is Cole's biggest fan, even complimenting her hubby on the post.
Hudgens commented "Skee Yeee" on his post about the offseason. For those who are unaware of that saying, "Skee Yeee" is a reference to the hit song of the same name by singer Sexyy Red.
Sexyy Red explained the meaning of the phrase in an interview with Montreality, saying that "if you see a cute girl or somebody with a big booty or you trying to holler at somebody."
Essentially, Hudgens was calling out her husband, calling him handsome. It's safe to say that the young couple enjoy each other and are not shy about sharing those feelings on social media.
Cole Tucker and Vanessa Hudgens welcomed their first child this summer
Cole Tucker and Vanessa Hudgens, who were married last December in Tulum, Mexico, announced that they had welcomed their first child this past summer. Despite both Cole and Vanessa's celebrity status, they have done a good job at keeping photos of their baby out of the press.
While Tucker and Hudgens have been able to remain rather private in their personal lives, they did have to deal with unwanted paparazzi attention when they were leaving the hospital. Best of luck to the new parents, as well as to Cole in free agency.
