NL Superstar Costing Himself Millions In Free Agency With Extended Slump
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Kyle Tucker may be in the middle of a $400 million slump. The superstar right fielder for the Chicago Cubs is set to be one of the biggest free agents in the offseason. A recent slump, though, could be setting Tucker for much less money than he is expected to get. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - AUGUST 4: Kyle Tucker #30 of the Chicago Cubs looks on during the sixth inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field on August 4, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - AUGUST 4: Kyle Tucker #30 of the Chicago Cubs looks on during the sixth inning against the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field on August 4, 2025 in Chicago, getting off to an incredible start to the season and being selected as a starter in the All-Star Game, Tucker has struggled mightily in the second half of the season. Tucker entered Friday with a slash line of .150/.227/.150 in August. He has not recorded an extra-base hit since a double on the final day of July. His season average has dipped from .276 to .265 during the stretch and his struggles have become a concern not only for the rest of the season, but for the future as well. The Cubs offense is frustrated tonight in Toronto. — Marquee Sports Network (@WatchMarquee) August 13, 2025 Tucker's extended slump has stirred up conversations surrounding what his offseason contract could look like. A recent article from Fansided's Quinn Everts suggested that Tucker could be playing his way out of millions. "Tucker's honeymoon phase in Chiago has unfortunately come to an end — or at least a hiatus," Everts wrote. "Now, 'losing millions' in Tucker's case probably isn't as detrimental as it would be for other players." Everts is correct in his assessment of Tucker losing out on millions would not be a major ordeal. He could potentially earn $100 million less than expected and still make more than any other free agent does in the offseason. Chicago's upcoming three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates could be a chance for Tucker to get back on track. He's posted a slash line of .250/.357/.417 in 24 at-bats against the Pirates this season. A good series against Pittsburgh will have Tucker feeling like himself again before Monday when the Cubs begin a five-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Rams go far in CBS Sports' 'Madden' simulation for 2025 NFL season
The Madden NFL video game franchise is a great place to speculate on what a team will do in any given season. It's not a perfect science — and the player ratings aren't always loved — but it offers the best way to simulate potential outcomes. CBS Sports' Tyler Sullivan simulated the 2025 NFL season with the latest version of the game, and it predicted that the Los Angeles Rams will go very far. Not only did it have the Rams making the playoffs, but L.A. went all the way to the NFC Championship game and faced off against the Green Bay Packers. The Rams earned the No. 2 seed and took down the New York Giants in the Wild Card — the shocking No. 7 seed of this scenario — in a 34-17 blowout. L.A. then went on to beat the Washington Commanders in a 27-24 nailbiter. L.A.'s season ended in the conference title game, though. The Rams fell to the Packers, 41-27, in a game where Packers quarterback Jordan Love eviscerated the Rams' defense for 267 yards and four touchdowns. So, the secondary ended up being the team's biggest issue after all. Could this happen? Sure! Anything is possible at this point in the NFL calendar. And Rams fans would have to be a little excited to see their team make it a round further than it did a year ago. Not winning the Lombardi Trophy is a shame but, again, this is only a simulation.
