Blue Jays Reportedly Have Sizable Long
Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- The Toronto Blue Jays have made a long-term, multi-year offer to free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker, reportedly in the range of eight to nine years and around $300 million.
- The New York Mets have presented Tucker with a high annual value short-term deal, reportedly around $50 million per year, though the length of the contract remains unclear.
- Tucker, a four-time All-Star and one of the best left-handed hitters, is weighing the security of a long-term deal with Toronto against the potential of a short-term, high-value contract with the Mets or other offers.
- The Blue Jays are prioritizing adding an offensive star like Tucker after moving away from re-signing Bo Bichette, despite already committing over $300
