Report: Blue Jays viewed as favourites to land Kyle Tucker according to rival executives

"Adding Tucker's bat to the lineup would be huge for the Blue Jays . Last season with the Chicago Cubs, he slashed .266/.377/.464 with 22 home runs in 597 plate appearances for a 136. That tends to be his career norm, although Tucker usually hits 30 home runs. He's also an adequate defender in right field and is capable of stealing 25 bases a season. Tucker rarely strikes out and works counts; he'd fit the team like a glove."

"There's a possibility that the Blue Jays sign multiple nine-digit contracts this off-season. Another interesting point from the article is that Passan believes that signing Tucker Bichette is a possibility. Interestingly, MLB.com's Feinsand also reported on Monday Mark Feinsand reported that the Blue Jays' biggest priority is re-signing Bichette. , after Josh Naylor re-signed with the Seattle Mariners, that Bichette is the next favourite to re-sign."

Rival executives consider the Toronto Blue Jays the favorite to land Kyle Tucker following the team’s first World Series berth in more than three decades. Tucker produced a .266/.377/.464 slash line with 22 home runs in 597 plate appearances, a 136 mark, while his career trend often produces about 30 homers; he provides adequate right-field defense and 25-steal speed, rarely striking out and working counts. Tucker is expected to command at least $300 million in a long-term deal, with $400 million possible. The Blue Jays may pursue multiple nine-digit contracts, prioritize re-signing Bo Bichette, and could pivot to Cody Bellinger if Tucker signs elsewhere.
