Mets Remain in Mix for Kyle Tucker
The New York Mets are taking "a very serious look" at top free-agent outfielder Kyle Tucker, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Multiple teams are vying for Tucker's services, though only a handful of teams can realistically afford a big-money deal for the star outfielder. The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers also remain strong contenders to sign Tucker, but the Mets are "very, very much in the mix." According to executives around the league, the 28-year-old isn't expected to reach a contract worth $400 million, though he is likely to blow past the $300 million mark if he inks a long-term deal. The former Houston Astros outfielder turned in another great season with the Cubs in 2025, despite a lingering calf strain down the stretch, finishing with a slash line of .266/.377/.464 with 22 homers and 25 stolen bases over 597 plate appearances. Tucker remains one of the highest-floor options in fantasy baseball and will be a strong early-round selection in drafts this spring, regardless of where he lands.
