Overview
- CBS Sports reports that Kyle Tucker has held meetings with the Dodgers, Blue Jays, and Mets as his free-agent market takes shape.
- Tucker is widely expected to secure the offseason’s largest contract, though a shorter-term, higher–AAV structure remains possible according to reporting.
- Bleacher Report notes the Mets remain in the mix for Tucker or Cody Bellinger while outlining trade hedges to bolster their outfield.
- Following the Alex Bregman signing, the Cubs are not shopping Nico Hoerner but are listening to inquiries; he is under team control through 2026 with elite recent production and defense.
- A Bleacher Report proposal sends Hoerner to the Red Sox for left-hander Connelly Early, presented as a hypothetical pivot rather than an active negotiation.
