Tucker now joins the Dodgers and will seek his second title in his career, as well as help the Dodgers complete the three-peat. He will play a pivotal role with the Dodgers in what should be an exciting season for the team. The last thing that the Dodgers lack is star power. With a team filled with superstars like Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Edwin Diaz, to name a few, Tucker, on some nights, could be the unsung hero.
Los Angeles Dodgers closer Edwin Diaz revealed his reasoning behind the decision to don the No. 3. The Dodgers have No. 39 retired in honor of Roy Campanella, which prevented Diaz from picking the number he has worn with the New York Mets throughout his MLB career. Since his former number was not available, Diaz was sent a list of alternative numbers, he said during his introductory press conference, and he eventually decided on his number.
