"While the Toronto Blue Jays have reportedly extended a long-term contract offer for the soon-to-be 29-year-old, the Mets have gone the route of more money per season. While Sammon reported that New York is offering an average annual value of $40 million to $46.6 million, Robert Murray of Fansided disclosed shortly after that Stearns has floated the prospect of $50 million per season for Tucker's services."
"The Los Angeles Dodgers are believed to be another potential finalist for Tucker, but no formal offer has been reportedly made as of Wednesday afternoon. Jon Heyman of the New York Post added that the Yankees were on the periphery of the Tucker sweepstakes, but there is no concrete evidence to suggest that they are legitimate players as this free-agent saga enters its final lengths."
The New York Mets likely added a fourth year to their contract offer for free-agent outfielder Kyle Tucker, increasing longer-term flexibility while emphasizing higher annual pay. The Mets’ proposal targets a high average annual value, with figures discussed in the $40 million–$50 million range. The Toronto Blue Jays pursued a long-term offer while the Los Angeles Dodgers are believed to be potential finalists and the New York Yankees have shown peripheral interest. Tucker has met multiple times with Mets executives and appears interested in the high-money proposal despite the shorter term. Tucker averages over 30 homers and 100 RBIs per 162 games with a .277/.365/.514 slash.
