Jan. 13: The latest on Tucker and the Mets
According to FanSided's Robert Murray, the Mets have made an offer to Tucker that would pay him $50 million per year on a short-term deal. Murray's report was confirmed by MLB Network insider Jon Heyman.
Earlier on Tuesday, The Athletic's Will Sammon (subscription required) said he heard from league sources who suggested the Mets were in the range of offering $120 million to $140 million for three years to Tucker. New York has ramped up its pursuit of the outfielder over the past week, meeting with him via video on two occasions in that time.
The Mets are believed to be one of three main teams involved in the race to sign Tucker, along with the Blue Jays and Dodgers. It's unknown if Tucker has an offer in hand from the other two clubs, but Sammon's sources suggested that Tucker's decision could come as soon as this week. More >

Jan. 8: Blue Jays, Dodgers, Mets among teams pursuing Tucker (report)
Amid an offseason that already includes the additions of ace starter Dylan Cease, reliever Tyler Rogers, KBO import Cody Ponce and, most recently, Japanese star infielder Kazuma Okamoto, the Blue Jays remain in hot pursuit of the No. 1 free agent in the 2025-26 class.
According to The Athletic's Mitch Bannon (subscription required), the Blue Jays "have increased their efforts" to land Tucker. While the four-time All-Star outfielder has been connected to a number of clubs, Bannon reports that Toronto's recruitment of Tucker has become "more aggressive" of late.
Toronto and Tucker met at the team's player development complex in Dunedin, Fla., last month. And two industry sources recently told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand that they believe Toronto will ultimately be Tucker's destination by the end of this offseason.
The Blue Jays’ toughest competition for the lefty hitter might come from the Dodgers and Mets. Both are also pushing hard for Tucker, MLB Network Radio's Jim Duquette reported on Tuesday.
The Athletic's Will Sammon confirmed in a report on Wednesday night that the Dodgers, Mets and Blue Jays are all among Tucker’s options.
The Dodgers and Mets both prefer to add Tucker on a shorter-term deal with a higher average annual value. Sammon’s league sources expect the Blue Jays to go longer, which could give them the edge.
Jan. 1: Which teams are in on Tucker as new year begins?
As we turn the calendar to 2026, the competition to land this offseason's No. 1 free agent seems to be between four teams.
MLB Network insider Jon Heyman writes in the New York Post (subscription required) that the Blue Jays are still considered a landing spot for Tucker. The Dodgers lurk as well, but they may desire to give him a short-term, high average annual value contract instead of a long-term pact. Both New York teams have also checked in on Tucker, but the Yankees and Mets seem to favor Cody Bellinger more, per Heyman.
