Blue Jays, Dodgers and Yankees Drive Kyle Tucker Free-Agency Race

Toronto hosted the star outfielder at its Dunedin complex, with Los Angeles weighing a shorter high-dollar deal.

Overview

  • Kyle Tucker remains unsigned, with MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reporting he visited the Blue Jays’ spring facility and that Toronto is expected to stay in the chase.
  • Morosi said the Dodgers and Yankees currently stand out as leading contenders, though the full group of finalists has not been defined.
  • The Athletic reported Los Angeles would consider a three-to-four-year contract with a high average annual value rather than a longer commitment.
  • Toronto players and recent signees have publicly courted Tucker, while some outlets project his market in the roughly $400 million range.
  • Newsweek notes little indication of a Cubs reunion after Tucker’s down season in Chicago, and FanSided reports a Toronto deal could prompt difficult decisions on Bo Bichette.
