Well, it is not exactly official, yet, but if Drellich is tweeting about it is as close to a sure thing as one can get without an official press release. It's official, see below.

Tucker, a 7th round draft selection 2012,  has been a force in Fresno posting a .439 wOBA and a 169 wRC+ with 10 home runs in 111 plate appearances.
