Dodgers have a big outfield problem headlined by Kyle Tucker's bad season

The Los Angeles Dodgers face a significant outfield problem this season, primarily due to Kyle Tucker's struggles and Andy Jones' injury. The primary concern is the duo of Tucker and Toescar Hernandez, who have 0.0 bWAR each despite playing in 124 and 96 games respectively. Their absence or underperformance is particularly alarming given that they are earning a combined $300 million on their contracts.

The arrival of Alek Thomas, who has already posted 0.1 bWAR, provides some relief but the duo's poor performance is a major concern. If Andy Jones remains out for the rest of the season, the Dodgers' outfield production could become a major obstacle in their pursuit of a third-straight World Series title.
