"The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers are the two other known finalists, but the Mets appear to be offering anywhere between $40 million and $46.6 million annually, which would make Tucker one of the top earners in all of baseball in terms of average annual value (AAV). Only Shohei Ohtani, Juan Soto, Zack Wheeler, and Aaron Judge hold AAVs of $40 million or more."
"Such a financial figure is quite the consolation prize for the soon-to-be 29-year-old, who undoubtedly was looking for a long-term contract at the start of the offseason as Major League Baseball's consensus top free agent. Whether or not it will be enough to land him in Queens could be known soon, as Sammon reports a decision could be made as early as this week."
The Mets possess a three-year offer in the $120 million to $140 million range for Kyle Tucker, currently the only known offer. The Mets’ annual average proposal sits between $40 million and $46.6 million, putting Tucker among baseball’s highest-paid players. Tucker is a soon-to-be 29-year-old who sought a long-term contract as the offseason’s top free agent. A decision could arrive as early as this week after multiple video meetings with the Mets. The Blue Jays could offer more years, the Dodgers command superior outbidding ability, and the signing would address a major Mets outfield need.
