"Both the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets have recently met with Tucker's representatives, as former GM and current MLB Network radio host Jim Duquette reported Sunday night. Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated also reported Sunday that the Mets have sat down with the four-time All-Star, noting the organization's cautiously optimistic belief of landing the marquee outfielder. The Toronto Blue Jays, of course, have also met with Tucker and hosted him at the franchise's player development complex in Dunedin, Fla., back in early December."
"As of now, with the Chicago Cubs signing Alex Bregman over the weekend, this now appears to be a three-team race for the top remaining free-agent hitter. Of those three teams, the Blue Jays certainly seem well-positioned to land Tucker in free agency, considering they're likely the only potential suitor willing to offer him a long-term deal - while both the Dodgers and Mets would prefer a shorter term with a higher average annual value."
The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets have both met with Kyle Tucker's representatives, and the Mets are cautiously optimistic about landing him. The Toronto Blue Jays hosted Tucker at their Dunedin player development complex in early December and appear able to offer a long-term contract. The Chicago Cubs' signing of Alex Bregman has narrowed the top free-agent hitter market to three teams. The Dodgers and Mets favor shorter deals with higher average annual values. Los Angeles and New York could increase efforts if roster changes motivate them. Toronto has roster flexibility and remains open to reuniting with shortstop Bo Bichette.
