Overview
- USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports the Dodgers will bid above $30 million per year for Tucker only on a short-term contract, which contrasts with the years he is seeking.
- Tucker has been reported to have visited Toronto’s spring training facility in Dunedin during his free agency process.
- Former GMs Jim Bowden and Steve Phillips say Toronto may be the lone club willing to meet Tucker’s desired length and caution the Blue Jays against bidding against themselves.
- Nightengale predicts the Blue Jays will sign Tucker and closer Robert Suárez and let Bo Bichette walk, a forecast that remains unconfirmed.
- Toronto has already committed seven years and $210 million to Dylan Cease, and GM Ross Atkins offered guarded remarks when asked about Bichette’s role.
