Kyle Tucker: “I would say Toronto is leading the pack right now.”

Right now, there are three clubs that come up more often than others in discussions when it comes to Kyle Tucker: the Blue Jays, the Dodgers, and the Mets.

I'm not sure how keen Tucker is to sign with the Mets, who weren't making too much noise in the matter. We'll see.

But since it's become clear that Tucker is likely to sign in the short term, the Dodgers have been scaremongering in the matter. After all, they excel in the art of giving small contracts in terms of years… but a big annual salary.

After all, as long as you're signing for the short term, why not do it for the big bucks within a dynasty?

But the Blue Jays shouldn't be overlooked. Not only is the Canadiens club in the best position to give away a long-term contract, but we're also talking about a very attractive team right now.

How seriously should we take the Blue Jays, who have often looked like favorites in this matter?

Despite Kazuma Okamoto's arrival in town, we all know that the Blue Jays are still improving. And a left-handed hitting outfielder like him is worth his weight in gold.

According to Ken Rosenthal, who spoke to Foul Territory, the Blue Jays are surely still the favorites.

Obviously, everything can change quickly. The Dodgers are attractive and the Mets are possibly desperate, so one phone call can change everything.

When can we expect a conclusion?
