Overview
- Tucker remains unsigned with the Blue Jays viewed by ESPN as the likeliest team to land him on a long-term contract.
- Multiple outlets report the Mets have offered a short-term deal at roughly $50 million per year, with accounts ranging from three years at $120–$140 million to a possible fourth year with opt-outs.
- MLB Trade Rumors and others note the Dodgers could enter on a shorter-term, high-AAV structure if Tucker pivots from a long-term agreement.
- The decision timeline has tightened, with Jeff Passan reporting Tucker expects to choose his next team within roughly a week.
- New York’s push reflects an urgent outfield need after trading Brandon Nimmo, while Tucker’s choice is expected to shape other clubs’ plans for alternatives such as Cody Bellinger and Bo Bichette.
