"It's been a fairly active week on the free agent market, but things have mostly been quiet surrounding star outfielder Kyle Tucker. That changed yesterday, however, when a report emerged that Tucker had visited the Blue Jays' spring training facility in Dunedin, Florida. It's the first known meeting between the winter's top free agent and a team, and the news continues a trend of Toronto being by far the most aggressive team in baseball to this point in the offseason."
"The Rays reached an agreement with outfielder Cedric Mullins on a one-year deal yesterday, adding to an outfield that was in desperate need of reinforcements beyond re-signing Jake Fraley shortly after his non-tender. Tampa Bay will need to clear a spot on their 40-man roster to accommodate Mullins. The most common way to accomplish that is simply by designating a player for assignment, but it's also possible the Rays could look to work out a trade that clears 40-man roster space instead."
Kyle Tucker visited the Blue Jays' spring training facility in Dunedin, Florida, marking his first known in-person meeting with a team this offseason. Toronto has been the most aggressive club so far, pursuing major additions including Dylan Cease and reportedly targeting Bo Bichette and Pete Fairbanks. The Rays agreed to a one-year deal with Cedric Mullins, creating a need to clear a 40-man roster spot. Tampa Bay can designate a player for assignment or pursue a trade to open space, with players like Brandon Lowe mentioned as potential trade pieces. Several reported signings remain pending completion of physicals before being finalized.
