Overview
- Multiple outlets report the Mets have proposed a short-term contract to Tucker at roughly $50 million per year, with The Athletic placing a three-year range at $120–$140 million.
- ESPN’s Jeff Passan says the Blue Jays are the likeliest team to give Tucker the big-money, long-term deal he wants, with Toronto described as firmly in the mix.
- Will Sammon of The Athletic reports a decision could come within days as Tucker, who turns 29 this week, weighs structure and fit.
- The Dodgers are viewed as a strong option if Tucker chooses a shorter, high-AAV route, consistent with Los Angeles’ recent free-agent approach.
- Toronto’s calculus could be influenced by Bo Bichette’s positive meeting with the Phillies, even as the Jays’ aggressive offseason spending signals capacity to pursue a marquee deal.
