Overview
- ESPN’s Jesse Rogers reports the Mets proposed a short-term contract around $50 million per year, while the Blue Jays have submitted a long-term offer with undisclosed terms.
- The Athletic’s Will Sammon has the Mets’ proposal in the three-year, $120–$140 million range, underscoring New York’s high-AAV, short-duration approach.
- Jeff Passan of ESPN characterizes Toronto as the likeliest team to meet Tucker’s preference for a big-money, multi-year deal following an aggressive offseason.
- The Dodgers and Yankees remain in the mix primarily on shorter-term, higher-AAV structures, and multiple outlets suggest Tucker could choose his destination within days.
- Toronto’s pursuit intersects with Bo Bichette’s future; the Phillies recently met with Bichette, yet the Blue Jays have not ruled out a return, per reporting.
