He has stunk it up against the Cardinals. I wasn't impressed at all by what I saw in those games.
Some team is going to overpay him, though. And I have to say I won't be too sad it won't be the Cardinals.
Kyle Tucker is a top ten player in baseball. He’s not hitting now but was a dominant force in the first half. Nobody hits for six months straight. Everyone goes through slumps. I would still be happy if the Cardinals would sign him in the offseason but he can’t carry a team by himself. Adding a Tucker should only be a first step in changes for the Cardinals.
A 39-game "slump" with a BA below the Mendoza line and just 1 HR isn't normal for a supposed "top ten" player. And his team has suffered as a result of his vanishing act.
The Cubs are 17 games over .500 going into tonight. The Cubs are suffering because Milwaukee just went like 29-4 and just lost their first game in August. Milwaukee makes everyone suffer.

They were 15 games over .500 before his 39-game slump. They were 16 over when he got benched. His slump was a factor.
And the Cubbies just swept a DH from the Crew somehow without a hint of Tucker. And his rookie replacement went 3-6 with 2 runs, 3 RBIs and a HR. He might just ride the pine a bit longer.
You keep believing that Tucker is the problem and Caissie is the answer. Tucker can come here and play RF for us any day he wants to. We need about 3 players just like him.
I hope the Cubs decide that they don’t need Tucker and that Caissie is the answer to their pennant run and let Tucker move on. The year ending injury to Steele, the huge second half slump by Suzuki, the ridiculous contract given to Swanson, the bullpen woes of the Cubs are all greater concerns than Tucker is. Not diminishing the ridiculous 29-4 run by the Brewers that have made the Cubs season a whole lot tougher to stomach.
