Blue Jays Emerge as Leading Kyle Tucker Suitor as New York Cools

Insider skepticism about New York elevates Toronto’s chances.

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.
