Quotes from Kyle Tucker that Make an Extension/Re-signing More Likely

I thought it might be fun to look at some quotes from Kyle Tucker himself that make an extension/re-signing more likely.

• “Like I said, pretty much right when I got traded over here, I don’t think I could have gone to a much better organization than the Cubs. The fanbase here is second to none. It's kind of been a pretty easy transition just to feel comfortable. And you know the teammates and for an office coaching staff, everyone that I’ve talked to and that so far have been amazing. It’s kind of been like a pretty easy transition, just to feel comfortable and everything out here. So I’m excited to finish up spring training, finish it healthy. Get to Japan and start the season.”
• “I’m open to anything. Whether that’s now or later, kind of just see how it goes. But in terms of contracts or anything, I feel like as long as I go out and do my job out on the field, that stuff will kind of take care of itself. My job is not to worry about all that. It’s to go out there, perform, put up numbers and try and win games, get to the playoffs and win a World Series.”
• “Kind of how I do things is just, the rest will take care of itself. If you have your numbers and whatnot, you can deal with the rest. But like I said, I’m open to anything and everything. I feel like there’s no harm in just listening and having some talks back and forth and see where they lead.”
• “I don’t think I could have gone to a much better organization than the Cubs, so I’m excited to start playing in front of the fans and in the city and everything else.”
• “I’m always open to talk (about an extension) and see where that leads.”
• “I don’t think I could have gone to a better organization than the Cubs. Those fans love their Cubs, love the neighborhoods and surrounding areas of Wrigley Field. I feel like they’re sold out every game, win or lose. That’s how it felt from the visiting side, and now I get to experience it from the home side, get to experience the love that the city and the fans show their Cubs. I’m excited to get out there and start playing in front of them, and kind of show what I can do to help them.”
• “We did have a lot of team success over in Houston and I’m hoping to continue that here. I’m excited to get after it with these guys. We have a really good ballclub, and I think we have a really good opportunity to have a lot of success this year and make it to the playoffs and have a run at the World Series”
• “Right now, I'm a Chicago Cub. I’m excited to be here and try to win games for the Cubbies.”
