"MLB free agency remains in a holding pattern despite the start of Spring Training being just over one month away, as the likes of Cody Bellinger, Alex Bregman and Kyle Tucker are among the top position players still without a new contract. Tucker is a free agent for the first time in his career, while Bellinger and Bregman opted out of respective contracts to hit the open market once again. Interest in Bellinger and Tucker has overlapped, with the Los Angeles Dodgers among the teams connected to both outfielders."
"Although Tucker's market has moved slower than expected, he reportedly visited the Blue Jays' Spring Training facility last month. That was considered particularly noteworthy given he's a Tampa native. Toronto already has been plenty aggressive in free agency so far this offseason, beginning with their signing of Dylan Cease and continuing with the recent addition of Japanese star Kazuma Okamoto. As a result, it's believed the Blue Jays effectively face a scenario of needing to decide between Tucker and Bo Bichette."
MLB free agency remains muted with Spring Training about a month away and several top position players still unsigned. Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger and Alex Bregman are notable unsigned position players. Tucker is a free agent for the first time, while Bellinger and Bregman opted out of prior contracts. The Dodgers, Mets and Blue Jays have emerged as the most aggressive suitors for Tucker, though no deal appears imminent. Tucker visited the Blue Jays' Spring Training facility; Toronto's signings of Dylan Cease and Kazuma Okamoto could force a decision between Tucker and Bo Bichette. The Mets traded Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil and may prioritize Bellinger, but Tucker could help replace lineup production lost when Pete Alonso departed.
