Report: Blue Jays have shown willingness to go up to 10 years for Kyle Tucker
Kyle Tucker must decide between a short-term $50 million per year offer from the Mets and a longer-term deal from the Blue Jays as free agency nears resolution.
- Kyle Tucker, free-agent outfielder, is weighing a short-term $50 million per season offer from the New York Mets against a long-term proposal from the Toronto Blue Jays, with a decision expected this week but not before Thursday.
- Payroll projections show the Toronto Blue Jays at $312.3 million without Tucker, and adding $51 million would push it to $363.3 million, surpassing the Los Angeles Dodgers' $357.2 million projection.
- Experts reported the Mets' initial offer was three years for $150 million, but Jim Duquette said they likely added a fourth year with opt-outs at $50 million per year.
- Toronto appears motivated to lock Kyle Tucker into its middle lineup for the next decade, as a scarcity of impact bats in the 2026 and 2027 off-seasons increases his strategic value, drawing interest from contenders including the Los Angeles Dodgers.
- The decision likely comes down to the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets, with the Los Angeles Dodgers still in play, and the Mets' prior Juan Soto deal providing salary context.
