Blue Jays Push Forward as Bregman, Bichette, Tucker Keep MLB Free-Agent Market on Hold

Tepid Tigers interest, a quiet New York market, Kyle Tucker’s high price push leverage toward aggressive bidders.

Overview

  • Detroit Free Press reporting cited across outlets says the Blue Jays, Red Sox, Cubs and Diamondbacks are active on Alex Bregman, while the Tigers’ interest is described as lukewarm.
  • Toronto has renewed contact with Bo Bichette late in December, according to an MLB Live post reported by Heavy, though those talks have not been confirmed by the team.
  • Kyle Tucker remains unsigned and is seeking a contract north of $400 million, a posture that has clubs weighing fallback options, per FanSided.
  • Boston continues to seek an infield bat, with Alex Speier of the Boston Globe naming Bregman and Bichette as primary targets and Ketel Marte and Isaac Paredes as trade avenues.
  • The Yankees’ offseason remains notably quiet, with Brian Cashman publicly defending the slow pace, and analysts have urged the Mets to explore a trade for Luis Robert Jr. if top free agents land elsewhere.
