Mets Float Short-Term Mega Offer as Blue Jays Lodge Long Bid for Kyle Tucker

Tucker’s preferred contract length now looks decisive given Toronto’s long-term bid versus the Mets’ short-term approach.

Overview

  • The Athletic reports the Mets have proposed a three-year offer in the $120–$140 million range and, per the New York Post via The Sporting News, they are not expected to pursue a massive long-term deal.
  • ESPN’s Jesse Rogers, as cited by Heavy, reports the Blue Jays have submitted a long-term offer to Tucker, though exact terms have not surfaced.
  • Industry reporting indicates Tucker is seeking a lengthy commitment in the neighborhood of nine years and roughly $400 million.
  • FanSided’s Robert Murray, cited by EssentiallySports, reports the Mets’ short-term pitch could reach about $50 million per year, with the Dodgers and Blue Jays still in the mix.
  • Larry Brown Sports relays The Athletic’s view that the Phillies have emerged as the leading suitor for Bo Bichette after a video meeting, a development that could nudge Toronto’s focus further toward Tucker.
