At present, the Mets, Dodgers, and Blue Jays are the three teams most likely to come back for Kyle Tucker. The Yankees are also interested, but not at the same level.

We know that if he wants to sign long-term, his best chances are in Toronto. But he seems to have a good chance of signing in the short term – and of doing so in the next few days.

In the short term, we've always known that the Dodgers were the kings of the sandbox, as they like short offers at a good price.

Now, however, we realize that all three clubs could make such an offer. The Mets, under the circumstances, would have to get up early to lure the player to New York.

And that's exactly what's happening.

According to Robert Murray, the Mets have a short-term offer worth $50 million a year to bring Tucker to the Big Apple. With Juan Soto, that would be a $101 million outfield… not including the center fielder.

Obviously, this doesn't mean that Tucker wants to play there. However, it does show that Steve Cohen, who has a lot of money, really needs the outfielder.

Let's not forget that, at the moment, the Mets' off-season is going badly.

Let's not forget that a club that makes noise is really not guaranteed to go for the big prize. Remember that Shohei Ohtani and the Blue Jays used to be rumored. It didn't work out.

Tucker could make up his mind this week, if all goes well. We'll be keeping a close eye on this as the big three clubs are in the mix more than ever.
