Cubs star Kyle Tucker sends seven-word message after $600 million news

Originally posted on Athlon Sports  |  Last updated May 27, 2025 6:04 PM ET

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker is putting together a stellar eighth MLB season. Spending the first seven years of his career with the Houston Astros, Tucker was traded to Chicago this past offseason. In the final year of his contract, the left-handed slugger owns a .913 OPS that ranks seventh in the National League.

With Juan Soto receiving $765 million from the New York Mets and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. receiving $500 million from the Toronto Blue Jays, Tucker is predicted to land somewhere between these two stars.

Last week, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reported Tucker is expected to touch $600 million on his next deal.

There is speculation on whether Tucker's next contract with come from Chicago or another team, but for now, the 28-year-old seems to be enjoying his time with the Cubs. Following a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Monday, Tucker took to Instagram with a seven-word message accompanied by several photos.

"We ain’t no puppies. We some DAWGS," he captioned his post.

While Tucker's post was not in reference to his looming contract situation, Cubs fans took it as an opportunity to show their support.

While his future remains uncertain, especially amid his predicted $600 million value, Tucker is clearly well-liked in Chicago.
