Kyle Tucker et son contrat

Les Astros ont commencé à jaser de contrat à long terme avec lui, mais rien de concret pour l’instant.

The Astros recently spoke with Kyle Tucker’s camp about a contract extension, but the sides were unable to come to a deal and are no longer engaged, sources tell me and @brianmctaggart. Tucker will become arbitration-eligible for the first time at the end of this season.
