- Tucker, a four-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner, is considered the top free agent this winter and has attracted interest from teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays.
- The Mets’ pursuit aligns with their need for a strong outfielder following trades and departures, and owner Steve Cohen’s financial capacity supports their willingness to invest heavily.
- Tucker is seeking a long-term deal potentially worth around $400 million but may consider a short-term contract with opt-outs, allowing flexibility to test free agency again.
