Cubs Exec Has Worrying Comments on Kyle Tucker's Future in Chicago originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The biggest question surrounding the Chicago Cubs remains if they can re-sign star outfielder Kyle Tucker to a long-term deal this offseason.

"Kyle Tucker is a player you want to have for a long time," Hoyer said. "He's been one of the best players in baseball this year."

Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer maintained his stance on keeping contract negotiations out of the public sphere. But on Tuesday he acknowledged the obvious: “At some point” the Cubs will talk with three-time All-Star Kyle Tucker’s agent Casey Close about a possible extension.
