"Tucker landing with LA would be significant, but as things stand, they are not the favorites. The team that LA defeated in the World Series to capture their ninth title in franchise history, the Toronto Blue Jays, are the favorites. However, MLB insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today said that if anything changes on that front, LA could sneak in and sign the four-time All-Star."
""Well, remember there was reports early on that he was going to get 400 million, 500 million. It's not going to get close to that. And so I think the Blue Jays saying, "We're not going to bid against ourselves." So I think they're kind of laying back. So if you want to come here or not. If not, you could fall right into the Dodgers' laps on a three or four-year deal."
The baseball offseason has been quiet recently, with little significant movement. The Los Angeles Dodgers made two major league signings and bolstered their bullpen by adding All-Star closer Edwin Díaz. The team still seeks an outfielder and has been linked to free agent Kyle Tucker. The Toronto Blue Jays are the favorites to sign Tucker, but MLB insider Bob Nightengale said that if the Blue Jays step back, Tucker could become available for the Dodgers on a three- or four-year deal. The Mets have some interest, while the Yankees are focused on Cody Bellinger. Early projections of a $400–$500 million Tucker contract now seem unlikely.
