Cubs Outfielder Projected To Land $40M Per Year Deal This Winter
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. The Chicago Cubs traded for Kyle Tucker last offseason, and after he has put up another strong season, he is still primed to be a free agent in the winter, barring a late-season extension. R.J. Anderson of CBS Sports projects the lefty to be the third outfielder to receive a deal of $40 million or more annually, joining Juan Soto and Aaron Judge. TORONTO, CANADA - AUGUST 13: Kyle Tucker #30 of the Chicago Cubs runs as he flies out in the sixth inning of their MLB game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on August... TORONTO, CANADA - AUGUST 13: Kyle Tucker #30 of the Chicago Cubs runs as he flies out in the sixth inning of their MLB game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on August 13, 2025 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. More Photo byTucker has been one of the steadiest bats in the league for the last five seasons, including four consecutive All-Star appearances. Although Tucker has not led the league in any category outside of RBIs in 2023, he has received MVP votes in three separate seasons and has a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger already in his trophy case. Tucker has hit 30 home runs twice and has flashed his power despite his numbers being down this season; he is still on pace to launch 20-plus baseballs out of the yard again this year. Tucker is likely to hit the open market with less than two months to play and no deal being done yet to stay on the North Side of Chicago. His consistency has him projected to be the top option for teams looking for an outfielder this winter, and his play has him toward the top of the league. Tucker is going to be focused on not letting the postseason slip away from the Cubs this year and is looking to add another World Series title, but once the season ends in Chicago, his phone is going to be busy with teams requesting his services.

Why the Nationals cut Nathaniel Lowe 1 day after a grand slam
The Washington Nationals made a big decision about the future of former World Series champion first baseman Nathaniel Lowe on Thursday afternoon. Lowe not only won the World Series playing for the Texas Rangers in 2023 but he also won a Gold Glove Award for fielding during that campaign as well. The previous season, he earned a Silver Slugger Award for his hitting. He was a major offseason acquisition for the Nationals via trade for Robert Garcia. However, despite hitting the 100th home run of his career earlier this season and the first grand slam of his MLB career less than 24 hours ago, Lowe was designated for assignment by Washington. While one would expect this dinger could have helped save his job for a bit longer, that was not the case. For one, it is worth noting that Lowe was making more than any other player on the roster at $10.3 million this season. However, he was simply not living up to his expectations on the field and was not performing well. Because he was designated for assignment, the Nationals could activate Dylan Crews from the 60-day injury list. In fact, per FanGraphs, his Wins Above Replacement (-0.7) this season ranked second-worst among 161 qualified hitters this season. Only one player (Eric Wagaman of the Miami Marlins) grades lower in 2025. His speed was particularly poor, via Baseball Savant, tied for third-worst in the baserunning runs metric. Meanwhile, his success rate as a fielder was the worst among all first basemen. This was statistically the worst season of his professional career, but at just 30 years old, Lowe could potentially find a way to rebound and get back on track with a new organization.

'I'm gonna learn the rules.' Terence Atmane becoming Reds fan during Cincinnati Open run
MASON, OH − The Cincinnati Open has already been a whirlwind for Terence Atmane. Now, the 23-year-old Frenchman is throwing a new sport in the mix. Atmane, who will play in the Cincinnati Open quarterfinals Aug. 14, has been feeding into the love he's receiving at the Lindner Family Tennis Center with support for the hometown teams.

That was the biggest win of Atmane's career until Aug. 13, when he upset No. 4 seed Taylor Fritz 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals. "I don't even know the rules of baseball," Atmane told The Tennis Channel's Prakash Amritraj after the upset victory over Fritz. "After this, I'm gonna learn. As soon as I land in New York (for the U.S. Open) I'm gonna learn the rules of baseball." Atmane has an easy choice when it's time to pick his favorite MLB team. Cincinnati has become a special place for Atmane, who tossed his racquet in celebration and covered his mouth in shock after his forehead winner to finish off Fritz. Atmane arrived in Mason with just five tour-level victories. He played his way through qualifying and now has nine to secure a spot in the ATP Top 100 (No. 93) for the first time in his career.

Atmane will need another upset to keep his surprising Cincinnati run alive. He'll face No. 7 seed and World No. 9 Holger Rune in the quarterfinals on Center Court to cap the Aug. 14 night session. "Work, work, work. I think there are no secrets about it. I think I'm doing a good job with my coaches right now and I have a great team around me," Atmane told The Tennis Channel. "What a week, huh? Absolutely crazy." This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Terence Atmane becoming Reds fan during surprise Cincinnati Open run
