Overview
- Multiple reports say New York has met with Tucker several times and proposed a three-year offer in the $120–$140 million range, with some outlets pegging the average annual value near $50 million.
- ESPN reports Toronto has submitted a long-term proposal to Tucker, though specific terms have not been disclosed.
- Coverage from The Athletic and others identifies the Mets, Blue Jays and Dodgers as the leading contenders, with a decision expected soon.
- Because Tucker received a qualifying offer from the Cubs, any signing team will forfeit draft picks, a calculus noted in reporting that also points to the Mets’ surplus 2026 selections.
- Tucker is coming off a 2025 season of .266/.841 with 22 home runs in 136 games while working through injuries, a profile teams are weighing against contract length and cost.
