A significant development is on the horizon in MLB free agency as star outfielder Kyle Tucker nears a decision regarding his next team. Reports by Will Sammon of The Athletic suggest Tucker could finalize his choice within the week.
Recent Offers and Interest
Multiple teams have shown interest in securing Tucker’s services. Notably, the New York Mets have submitted a substantial offer. According to Fansided’s Robert Murray, the Mets proposed a short-term contract valued at $50 million per season.
The Toronto Blue Jays are also vying for his talents. They have actively pursued the 28-year-old outfielder, regarded as the leading free agent position player this offseason. Tucker was recently seen with Blue Jays star George Springer at a TGL match and had visited the team’s spring-training facility in Dunedin, Florida, in December. Springer and Tucker played together on the Houston Astros from 2018 to 2020, which may influence his decision.
