Tucker Nears Choice as Mets Push $50M-A-Year Offer and Sign Top International Prospect

The decision pits a reported four-year, $50 million-per-season Mets bid against Toronto’s willingness to go much longer.

Overview

  • Multiple reports indicate Kyle Tucker could choose a team as soon as today, with the Mets, Blue Jays and Dodgers viewed as the finalists.
  • The Mets have a four-year proposal on the table at roughly $50 million per season, according to New York Post reporting echoed across outlets.
  • ESPN’s Jeff Passan says the Blue Jays are the only club publicly willing to go to a potentially 10-year commitment for the star outfielder.
  • The Dodgers remain involved as a short-term, high–average annual value alternative, with ESPN reporting they are ready to act if that route appeals.
  • On the opening day of MLB’s international signing period, the Mets officially signed No. 2 prospect Wandy Asigen for a reported $3.9 million, as the club also draws links to free-agent lefty Framber Valdez following Ranger Suárez’s five-year deal with Boston.
