"Tucker, whose market reportedly includes the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers, along with the Mets, has received an offer from the latter that would pay him $50 million per season on a short-term deal, as FanSided's Robert Murray reported Tuesday. That supports an earlier report from The Athletic's Will Sammon, which indicated the Mets' proposal ranged between $120-$140 million over approximately three years."
"Toronto, in particular, has widely been viewed as the biggest threat to sign Tucker this off-season. Unlike Los Angeles or New York, they've shown a willingness to make a long-term financial commitment to the four-time All-Star, possibly cornering his market in that regard. Tucker's preference, however, is currently unknown. It's unclear if he'd forgo something in the ballpark of $250-$300 million over eight-plus years in favour of a short-term, high-AAV deal - considering the second option could make him one of the sport's highest-paid players."
The Dodgers offered Tucker $50 million per season on a short-term deal. The Mets proposed roughly $120–$140 million over approximately three years. The Blue Jays remain willing to make a long-term financial commitment, potentially cornering his market for an extended deal. The Yankees are monitoring the bidding. Tucker could decide later this week as offers intensify. Tucker's preference between a long-term $250–$300 million eight-plus year contract and a short-term, high-AAV deal is unknown. A short-term deal could place Tucker near or slightly below Juan Soto's $51 million average annual value. New York's outfield would gain the most from Tucker's arrival.
