Overview
- Jon Heyman said on MLB Network that he does not see the Yankees or Mets pursuing Kyle Tucker aggressively and described the Blue Jays as a definite bidder.
- Kyle Tucker’s market is widely projected in the $300 million to $400 million range, with several estimates clustered around a 10-year, ~$350 million deal.
- MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson and other reports indicate Toronto has interest in Tucker but is unlikely to afford both a Tucker megadeal and a Bo Bichette reunion.
- Bichette’s future remains unsettled, with projections such as Jim Bowden’s $189 million estimate and reports of numerous teams monitoring his market.
- Speculative scenarios suggest a Blue Jays win for Tucker could push the Yankees to explore a Bryce Harper trade, a rumor floated by FanSided and echoed by The Sporting News, while some outlets say the Dodgers may hesitate at Tucker’s long-term price.
