- Analysts describe New York as a strong potential landing spot next to Aaron Judge, citing Tucker’s five-tool profile and career pace of 31 home runs and 25 steals per 162 games.
- Tucker visited the Blue Jays’ player development complex in Dunedin, which signals active Toronto interest and a competitive market.
- Reporting portrays the Yankees as cautious on payroll, with indications they may prioritize re-signing Cody Bellinger over committing to a decade-long deal for Tucker.
