Mets Meet With Kyle Tucker
The New York Mets have met with free-agent outfielder Kyle Tucker, multiple sources told Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated. The meeting reportedly went well, and the Mets are cautiously optimistic about their chances of landing the All-Star outfielder. The Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers have also met with Tucker, either in person or via Zoom. If the Mets were to sign Tucker, he could take over as the primary right fielder, which would push Juan Soto to left field. Tucker would provide plenty of lineup protection for Soto and shortstop Francisco Lindor after the team lost Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo in the middle of the order. The 28-year-old Tucker missed more time late in 2025 due to injuries, and he finished with a .266/.377/.464 slash line, .841 OPS, 22 home runs, and 73 RBI with the Chicago Cubs. When healthy, Tucker is one of the best all-around hitters in baseball, having posted a .273/.358/.507 slash line with an .865 OPS, 147 homers, and 490 RBI in eight big-league seasons.
