Yankees lead list of 6 best landing spots for Kyle Tucker in free agency

Everyone is spending a lot of time figuring out where Kyle Tucker is going to land in free agency after departing the Chicago Cubs.

The consensus top available free agent has a lot of suitors, to be sure.

MLB.com's Travis Sawchik took a new tact in his article about this, though. He tried to figure out what team could legitimately benefit the most from signing Tucker.

He ranked six teams on this thinking, and the New York Yankees topped the list.

The six ranked like this:

1. Yankees
2. Giants
3. Mets
4. Blue Jays
5. Phillies
6. Dodgers

Here's how Sawchik summed up the Yanks:

"Tucker's whippy, left-handed swing once earned him a role in a Ted Williams documentary due to swing similarities. The swing was also seemingly built in a biomechanical lab for Yankee Stadium. He's one of the best hitters in the Majors at pulling the ball in the air (22.7% mark for his career versus the MLB average of 16.7%), which is the most valuable batted-ball type in the game. And of course, the dimensions are rarely tighter in the pro game than along the right-field wall at Yankee Stadium."

Sawchik goes on to refer to Tucker's potential impact as rivaling that of Jason Giambi.

Tucker should remain one of baseball's best hitters for years to come.

He'd certainly look great doing that in the Bronx.
