Kyle Tucker Nears Decision While Mets Confirm Wandy Asigen Signing and Explore Pitching Moves

Reports describe a choice between the Mets’ short‑term, high‑AAV structure and Toronto’s willingness to offer length.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Tucker could choose a team as soon as today, with the Mets, Blue Jays and Dodgers viewed as the finalists.
  • New York’s bid is described as four years at roughly $50 million per season, a high‑AAV offer that contrasts with traditional long deals.
  • Jeff Passan reports Toronto is the only known suitor prepared to go to around a 10‑year commitment, while the Dodgers remain in the mix on a shorter term.
  • On the opening day of the international signing period, the Mets officially signed shortstop Wandy Asigen for $3.9 million; MLB Pipeline ranks him No. 2 in the class behind Venezuela’s Luis Hernandez.
  • After Boston landed Ranger Suárez on a five‑year, $130 million contract, the Mets were linked to free agent Framber Valdez and have checked in on a potential trade for Brewers ace Freddy Peralta, per recent reports.
