What Losing Out on Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker Could Mean for the Blue Jays

Despite losing Kyle Tucker to the Dodgers on a $240 million deal, the Blue Jays remain top American League contenders after spending $337 million on key free agents.

  • This offseason the Los Angeles Dodgers signed outfielder Kyle Tucker to a mammoth four-year contract, causing the Toronto Blue Jays to lose one of their biggest targets.
  • A $337 million spending spree shows the Toronto Blue Jays, MLB team, added Dylan Cease, Kazuma Okamoto, Tyler Rogers and Cody Ponce this offseason, bolstering their rotation and lineup.
  • Paying steep luxury-tax penalties, the Toronto Blue Jays face a $304 million threshold per Fangraphs, complicating high-cost signings and losing roster gains analysts said landing Kyle Tucker would have delivered.
  • Ken Rosenthal wrote the Toronto Blue Jays are already favorites to win the American League this year and remain a strong bet to repeat even after missing out on Kyle Tucker.
  • The Blue Jays still face a major decision as infielder Bo Bichette weighs returning to Toronto or signing elsewhere, with the Philadelphia Phillies holding a Zoom meeting last week as serious suitors, while reporters suggested losing Tucker may boost a Bichette reunion despite his turf concerns.
