As <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker">Kyle Tucker</a> gears up to announce his decision, the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets are putting together their final offers. According to a report around MLB, the organization in The Six has made it clear there is a budget it won’t go over.



After the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-mets-blue-jays-dodgers-receive-crucial-kyle-tucker-deal-update">Mets, Blue Jays, and Dodgers received a crucial update on Tucker’s deal</a>, the stakes have only been raised in what’s been the biggest storyline of the MLB offseason. Now, New York, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays">Toronto</a>, and Los Angeles are coming up with their final proposals to flip the scale in their favor.



In bidding battles, when one team goes over the top, the rest usually follow suit shortly after. However, despite reports that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/ny-mets-reportedly-send-final-offer-to-lure-kyle-tucker-away-from-blue-jays-dodgers">Mets have submitted their final offer to lure Tucker away from the Blue Jays and Dodgers</a>—at a salary expected to be around $50 million—Toronto has made it clear how much it is willing to pay.



<h2>What Blue Jays can offer</h2>



“The [Blue Jays] can raise their offer. They aren’t going to raise it to $50 million a year, paying him like you are Juan Soto. But they can certainly hit the $40 million-mark or eclipse that barrier,” Bob Nightengale commented on Foul Territory.

“Maybe that’s what [Tucker] is waiting for, you know, one term contract, so he doesn’t have to go through this year after year like the other guys did with those opt-outs.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/ny-mets-and-blue-jays-put-kyle-tucker-against-the-ropes-with-tough-dilemma-ahead-of-mlb-decision"></div>


Along with reports from Jeff Passan that Toronto is willing to go up to 10 years in their offer, Tucker might be on track to sign a $400 million contract to play for the current World Series runner-ups. With the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">Mets</a> reportedly offering a four-year, $200 million deal, it’s easy to see why the latest <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/kyle-tucker-rumors-one-clear-favorite-emerges-among-blue-jays-ny-mets-and-la-dodgers">Kyle Tucker rumors indicate the Blue Jays have emerged as the clear favorites</a>.



<h2>Tucker puts league on notice</h2>



The clock is ticking. The Blue Jays, Mets, and Dodgers may not be able to wait much longer, as anxiety over Tucker’s final decision is running at an all-time high in Toronto, Queens, and Los Angeles. The rest of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> is on alert as well, since the upcoming deal could be a groundbreaking one.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">New York Mets</a> continue to make decisive moves across multiple fronts this offseason, securing one of the top international prospects on the market while questions remain around their pursuit of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker">Kyle Tucker</a>.



When the international signing period officially opened Thursday, the Mets emerged with a major win, finalizing a $3.9 million agreement with shortstop Wandy Asigen, a player long expected to sign with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">New York Yankees</a>.



According to <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-international-prospects-signing-day-2026?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLB.com</a>, Asigen was ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect in this international class, making the Mets’ late push a notable development in an already eventful winter.



<h2>Mets add top international talent</h2>



Asigen, a 16-year-old shortstop from the Dominican Republic, stands six feet tall and bats left-handed while throwing right-handed. Scouts have followed him closely for years, particularly given the level of competition he has faced at a young age.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/15114607/wandy-asigen-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-562688"></figure><figcaption>Wandy Asigen, one of the top-ranked international prospects in the 2025 signing class. @MLBPipeline</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Queens’ shortstop future</h2>


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/red-sox-bo-bichette-rumors-resurface-after-130m-ranger-suarez-splash"></div>


Asigen remains several years away from the major leagues, and the Mets are firmly set at shortstop with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/francisco-lindor">Francisco Lindor</a> anchoring the position. While the Mets’ next steps in the Tucker sweepstakes remain uncertain, the addition of Asigen ensures the organization continues to invest aggressively in its future—both at the major league level and beyond.

The New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Dodgers, and the entire MLB are hanging on to the edge of their seats as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker">Kyle Tucker</a> makes up his mind. However, there is a two-time All-Star who is paying even more attention, as Tucker’s decision could determine his future, too.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays">Blue Jays</a> must make a decision regarding Bo Bichette. The former Blue Jays shortstop is among the top free agents in MLB. However, he is not quite on Tucker’s level. 



Thus, Toronto is putting that topic aside until it knows exactly where Tucker will play next season. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/kyle-tucker-rumors-one-clear-favorite-emerges-among-blue-jays-ny-mets-and-la-dodgers">Blue Jays may be emerging as the clear favorites to sign Tucker</a>, but it’s still tough to tell. If Tucker finds his way to Hogtown, then reports suggest Bichette’s return to Toronto can be kissed goodbye.



“I think [the Blue Jays have] already made their choice. They want Tucker,” Bob Nightengale reported during an appearance on Foul Territory. “I think Bichette’s only chance to go back is if they don’t get Tucker.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/15091427/bo-bichette-phillies-1920x1080.webp" alt="Bo Bichette" class="wp-image-562579"></figure><figcaption>Bo Bichette #11 with the Blue Jays looks on from the dugout.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Bichette’s stats</h2>



Last season, Bichette saw his production meet his standards after a down year in 2024, when he missed a lot of the action due to injuries. Appearing in 139 games for the Blue Jays in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> campaign, Bichette posted 78 runs, 181 hits, 18 home runs, 94 runs batted in, and 4 stolen bases. Moreover, the 27-year-old recorded a .311 batting average, .357 OBP, .483 SLG, and .840 OPS.

<h2>Tucker is first</h2>



Despite his strong numbers, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-bichette">Bichette</a> is not being prioritized by the Blue Jays, who are fully committed to the bit as they pursue Tucker. However, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/ny-mets-reportedly-send-final-offer-to-lure-kyle-tucker-away-from-blue-jays-dodgers">the Mets have sent their final offer to lure Tucker</a> away from Toronto and Los Angeles, while the Dodgers are expected to raise the stakes, too. The race is wide open, and only Tucker—if anyone—knows which team is signing him. 



Will it be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">New York</a>? Toronto? Or will the reigning back-to-back World Series champions in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Los Angeles</a> sign yet another piece to bolster their dynasty-trending roster? Until Tucker decides, no club can be ruled out.

MLB Rumors: 2x All-Star’s future lies in the hands of Kyle Tucker decision between NY Mets, Blue Jays, Dodgers

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker">Kyle Tucker</a> is closer than ever to making a decision on his MLB future. As the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, and Los Angeles Dodgers look to land the top free agent, they are presenting a tough dilemma for the 28-year-old.



Each team in the race for Tucker has a solid argument to make in hopes of convincing the Tampa, Florida native. Despite reports suggesting a clear favorite has emerged between the Blue Jays, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">Mets</a>, and Dodgers, the three clubs are still not throwing in the towel. Until Tucker puts pen to paper in Queens, Toronto, or Los Angeles, it’s still anyone’s game. 



Instead, the pressure is on Tucker, who may have to decide what matters more: securing a lucrative deal or prioritizing long-term stability. That may be the dilemma coming to the surface, as the Mets are reportedly offering a $50 million-per-year deal, while the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays">Blue Jays</a> are willing to go as long as 10 years with their proposal.



“You don’t know what [Tucker is] going to take,” insider Jeff Passan stated in dialogue with Sportsnet. “Does he want that big dollar contract or does he want the security that comes with that long-term deal?”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/14102415/kyle-tucker-7-1920x1080.webp" alt="Kyle Tucker looking to his side" class="wp-image-561786"></figure><figcaption>Kyle Tucker at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Why decision feels imminent</h2>



Although Tucker has taken his precious time through <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> offseason, all signs indicate the wait will not take much longer. The Mets, Blue Jays, and Dodgers have all had their time to convince Tucker, and it’s now up to the top free agent on the market to step up to the plate. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/ny-mets-reportedly-send-final-offer-to-lure-kyle-tucker-away-from-blue-jays-dodgers"></div>


“At this point, [Tucker] sort of understands what the market is, and the way it has played out so far,” Passan added. “The Blue Jays [are willing to] have that big ticket deal that we normally see given to a free agents of Tucker’s caliber. 



“Now, the Mets have entered the frame and they’re coming with $50 million a year. That is a lot of money for anyone to turn down. Now that the Mets are in at that level, the Dodgers are going to come in, too.”



<h2>Tucker must decide: Mets, Blue Jays or Dodgers</h2>



Tucker is still up for grabs. Perhaps a desperate move from one side turns the scale in their favor, but it could come back to bite them. It seems the Mets, Blue Jays, and Dodgers are all staying put. The ball is on Tucker’s court now. All the front offices in Queens, Toronto, and Los Angeles can do at this point is cross their fingers.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">New York Mets</a> are feeling the pressure in the free‑agent market with Kyle Tucker still on the board. They’ve been linked to him for weeks and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/ny-mets-reportedly-send-final-offer-to-lure-kyle-tucker-away-from-blue-jays-dodgers">reportedly sent a final offer</a>, hoping to pair him with Juan Soto. But recent updates suggest they may no longer hold the advantage.



Meanwhile, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays">Toronto Blue Jays</a> appear better positioned to land Tucker. Coming off a strong postseason and with more financial flexibility, Toronto has strengthened its standing in the race for MLB’s top free agent.



Tucker’s performance in 2025 only adds to his allure. He posted a .266 batting average, an impressive .377 on-base percentage, hit 22 home runs, drove in 73 RBIs, scored 91 runs, and stole 25 bases. These numbers make him one of the most complete and versatile offensive threats available this winter.



According to Dan Bartels of the New York Post on “X,” “It should be concerning if the Mets can’t land Kyle Tucker — especially after a leaked $50M figure that nobody else in baseball would touch. There should be no step-back seasons with Juan Soto. Toronto, two outs away from a World Series, is better positioned, as of now, to win.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/15095630/kyle-tucker-1-3-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-562623"></figure><figcaption>Kyle Tucker #30 with the Cubs hits a single.

<h2>Can the Mets compete with Toronto for Tucker?</h2>



The Mets still have paths to stay competitive, but the clock is ticking, especially after receiving a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-mets-blue-jays-dodgers-receive-crucial-kyle-tucker-deal-update">crucial Tucker deal update</a>, as Toronto’s recent moves including the addition of Kazuma Okamoto and their postseason momentum give them a clear edge in the negotiations.

<h2>Implications for the free-agent market</h2>



If Tucker chooses Toronto, the ripple effects could reshape the free‑agent landscape. The Mets may have to pivot fast, looking at other high‑impact options to support <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/juan-soto">Juan Soto</a> and keep the lineup competitive.

Entering the homestretch of the race for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker">Kyle Tucker</a>, it may come down to which MLB club is willing to step on the gas the hardest. In that regard, a report suggests there is one suitor more desperate than the others among the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, and Los Angeles Dodgers.



Days, weeks, and even months have gone by, but Tucker has yet to announce where he will play in the 2026 MLB season. However, the wait may finally be over soon. As they listen to the clock tick anxiously, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">Mets</a>, Dodgers, and Blue Jays are making desperate moves to come away with the former Chicago Cubs outfielder. 



However, there may be no organization as desperate as the one in The Six. According to a report around <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a>, the Blue Jays are ready to do anything for Tucker, even committing to an extra long deal with the 28-year-old talent, born in Tampa, Florida.



“The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays">Toronto Blue Jays</a> have really been the only team that’s shown the willingness to go as deep as 10 years, potentially,” as reported by insider Jeff Passan. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/15100356/tucker-1-1-1920x1080.webp" alt="Kyle Tucker" class="wp-image-562627"></figure><figcaption>Kyle Tucker #30 with the Cubs in action against the Brewers.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Mets looking to turn the scale</h2>



While Toronto has put an interesting offer on the table, New York isn’t losing hope. The Blue Jays are the clear favorite in terms of job security as Tucker would be secure for the next decade. However, the Mets could flip the scale as they are willing to pay Tucker top-of-the-market money. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/kyle-tucker-reportedly-leaving-ny-mets-out-in-the-dark-ahead-of-final-decision-on-mlb-future"></div>


According to a report from MLB insider Jon Heyman, the Mets have come up with a $50 million salary offer. Reports also suggest the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/ny-mets-reportedly-send-final-offer-to-lure-kyle-tucker-away-from-blue-jays-dodgers">Mets have sent their final offer to lure Tucker away from the Blue Jays and Dodgers</a>. The buzz around the league suggests New York may have submitted a four-year, $200 million offer. 



Expect the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Dodgers</a> to counter with a best-of-both-worlds proposal, hoping their appeal as back-to-back World Series champions does the rest to convince Tucker. Toronto may be favored to land the big prize, but make no mistake—it’s still anyone’s race until Tucker makes his announcement..

Kyle Tucker rumors: One clear favorite emerges among Blue Jays, NY Mets, and LA Dodgers

The race for Kyle Tucker is entering its home stretch. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">New York Mets</a> are still in pursuit of the former Chicago Cubs’, though insiders suggest they may be trailing behind the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers. Now, reports around <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> hint what the Mets’ final offer might look like.



The air across MLB has grown thick in anticipation and suspense. The tension can be cut with a knife. That usually means something big is looming. In this case, it’s the fact <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker">Kyle Tucker</a> is expected to make his decision soon. As the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-mets-blue-jays-dodgers-receive-crucial-kyle-tucker-deal-update">Mets, Blue Jays, and Dodgers receive a crucial update on Tucker</a>, each team in the race is now holding its breath and crossing its fingers. 



Though New York is staying confident, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/kyle-tucker-reportedly-leaving-ny-mets-out-in-the-dark-ahead-of-final-decision-on-mlb-future">Tucker has left the Mets out in the dark ahead of his final decision on his MLB future</a>. That alone may be enough to make the Orange and Blue grow disappointed. Still, New York is looking to lure Tucker away from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays">Toronto</a> and Los Angeles. According to reports, the Mets have sent their final offer to Tucker.



<h2>Mets reported final offer</h2>



“The Mets, according to a source, have a four-year offer on the table for Kyle Tucker,” The New York Post’s Mike Puma reported. Whether that term is good enough for Tucker to put pen to paper in Queens remains an unanswered question.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/14191513/kyle-tucker-1-2-1920x1080.webp" alt="Kyle Tucker smiles" class="wp-image-562505"></figure><figcaption>Kyle Tucker at Wrigley Field</figcaption></figure>



This information, combined with Jon Heyman’s report that New York is offering a $50 million-per-year contract, helps tie up the loose ends and suggests the Mets are most likely offering Tucker a four-year, $200 million deal. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Dodgers</a> and Blue Jays are playing their cards close to the chest, as their offers remain unclear. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/ny-mets-reportedly-meant-to-be-for-2x-all-star-as-kyle-tucker-negotiations-ramp-up"></div>

 


<h2>Biggest contracts in Mets history</h2>



If reports turn to reality and Tucker indeed signs with the Mets on a four-year, $200 million contract, he would join an exclusive ranking for the biggest deals ever handed out in Queens. As it stands, that list is topped—and will stay that way for a very long time— by Juan Soto’s 15-year, $765 million contract. Up next are the top-5 contracts in Mets history.



<ul><li>Juan Soto: 15 years, $765 million ($51 million a year)</li><li>Francisco Lindor: 10 years, $341 million ($34.1 million a year)</li><li>Marcus Semien: 7 years, $175 million ($25 million a year)</li><li>David Wright: 8 years, $138 million ($17.25 million a year)</li><li>Jacob deGrom: 5 years, $137.5 million ($27.5 million a year)</li></ul>

NY Mets reportedly send final offer to lure Kyle Tucker away from Blue Jays, Dodgers

Kyle Tucker reportedly could be a unique opportunity for the Blue Jays, NY Mets to acquire an elite hitter

NY Mets reportedly send final offer to lure Kyle Tucker away from Blue Jays, Dodgers - Bolavip US

The waiting game surrounding <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker">Kyle Tucker</a> appears to be nearing its most decisive moment, placing the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers">Los Angeles Dodgers</a> in a state of growing tension. 



After weeks of rumors and competing offers, the quiet coming from Tucker’s camp has only made the anticipation around the league grow. Each team has taken its own approach, creating a situation where fit and long‑term vision might matter just as much as pure financial muscle



That uncertainty sharpened after veteran insider Jon Heyman shared a revealing update on social media. “Folks involved say a deal for No. 1 free agent Kyle Tucker could come as soon as today. Ex teammates guess he’d prefer Toronto over an even bigger market (and like spring near Tampa). Mets offered $50M-a-year deal. Dodgers are used to winning. Anyone else is a major upset.”



<h2>A quiet edge emerging for the Blue Jays</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-blue-jays-gain-kyle-tucker-edge-amid-aggressive-ny-mets-dodgers-push">Blue Jays may be emerging as a subtle favorite</a>, not because of splashy headlines, but due to their willingness to align closely with Tucker’s reported preferences. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/11073913/kyle-tucker-1920x1080.webp" alt="Kyle Tucker" class="wp-image-506844" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>Kyle Tucker #30 with the Cubs.</figcaption></figure>



That contrasts with the Mets, who have signaled urgency through a high‑value proposal designed to accelerate a roster overhaul, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/kyle-tucker-reportedly-leaving-ny-mets-out-in-the-dark-ahead-of-final-decision-on-mlb-future">leaving the Mets increasingly in the dark as Tucker’s final MLB decision nears</a>. The Dodgers, meanwhile, continue to lean on their established reputation as perennial contenders, offering familiarity with October baseball rather than aggressive financial escalation.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/red-sox-bo-bichette-rumors-resurface-after-130m-ranger-suarez-splash"></div>


<h2>Why a resolution could arrive quickly</h2>



The final decision may now come down to personal priorities rather than leverage. Once Tucker chooses his direction, the remaining contenders may have limited opportunity to pivot or counter.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="6968e43f83cd5ad944865cb1" data-title="Which team ultimately lands Kyle Tucker?" data-options="4"></div>


A resolution in the coming days would close one of the offseason’s most consequential storylines and trigger a domino effect across the broader free-agent market. Until then, the league remains on hold, awaiting a choice that could arrive at any moment.

Speculation continues to mount over the potential signing of MLB standout <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kyle Tucker</a>. According to a report, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-insider-gives-timeline-over-kyle-tuckers-decision-amid-ny-mets-interest" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">there is a timeline for Tucker’s decision</a> and that could represent the final opportunity for teams like the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Mets, and even the Los Angeles Dodgers to secure one of the league’s premier hitters.



During an appearance on MLB Network, Passan highlighted the urgency of signing an elite player like Tucker: “By 2027, we’re unlikely to see free agents with Tucker’s caliber. This may be the last opportunity for teams to secure an elite hitter, compelling them to stretch their budgets,“ Passan commented.



With uncertainty clouding other franchises, such as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-face-bad-kyle-tucker-news-as-cody-bellinger-bo-bichette-paths-fade" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Yankees, who reportedly received unfavorable news concerning Tucker</a>, the Mets and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Blue Jays</a> emerge as potential frontrunners. These two clubs might be the only ones capable of acquiring Tucker for the upcoming season, contingent on the contract terms of their offers.



Tucker remains a top target this regular season, a fact not lost on these franchises, thanks to his youthful age and undeniable talent displayed in MLB. Now, the decision rests with Tucker, who must determine his path forward in the league.

While closely watching Tucker, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/ny-mets-rumors-team-reportedly-pursues-two-time-gold-glove-winner-amid-kyle-tuckers-uncertainty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Mets are reportedly pursuing a two-time Gold Glove winner</a> to bolster their roster. In addition, they are targeting two-time All-Star Framber Valdez to enhance their pitching rotation.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/kyle-tucker-reportedly-leaving-ny-mets-out-in-the-dark-ahead-of-final-decision-on-mlb-future"></div>


As Tucker deliberates, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mets</a>‘ primary offseason focus appears to be these two key acquisitions. Following their disappointing finish in the 2025 season without a postseason berth, there’s palpable anticipation from fans for a significant turnaround.



Furthermore, reports indicate that the Mets are on the verge of inking Wandy Asigen during this international signing period, with an official announcement expected as early as Thursday.

Kyle Tucker reportedly could be a unique opportunity for the Blue Jays, NY Mets to acquire an elite hitter - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">New York Mets</a> have circled around Kyle Tucker all offseason long. However, they were far from alone in their pursuit of the No. 1 free agent in MLB. Now, Tucker’s decision seems imminent, but the atmosphere within the room in Queens could indicate the coveted star is headed elsewhere.



The Mets knew landing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker">Tucker</a> was a challenge of its own. As recent reports suggested, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-blue-jays-gain-kyle-tucker-edge-amid-aggressive-ny-mets-dodgers-push">the Toronto Blue Jays gained the edge on Tucker amid the Mets and LA Dodgers push</a>. Though the race is not over until it’s over, tying up the loose ends could lead to Tucker’s final answer on his future in MLB.



As for the Mets, it’s not trending positively. According to a report from The New York Post’s Mike Puma, New York is aware that the next few hours are crucial, as Tucker will make up his mind sooner rather than later. However, it seems Tucker is playing his cards close to his chest, and the front office in Queens is uncertain what Tucker’s announcement will bring.



“Mets expect to receive an answer relatively soon on Kyle Tucker. Team brass at the moment doesn’t have a read on which way he might be leaning,” Puma commented on the situation.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/14085402/kyle-tucker-6-1920x1080.webp" alt="Kyle Tucker" class="wp-image-561672"></figure><figcaption>Kyle Tucker #30 with the Cubs celebrates after scoring against the Angels.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>If Mets miss out on Tucker, where do they go next?</h2>



What started off as a disappointing offseason suddenly changed its tune when the Mets announced moves for 2B Marcus Semien, INF Jorge Polanco, and RHP Devin Williams. However, the departures of fan-favorites like Pete Alonso, Edwin Diaz, Brandon Nimmo, and Jeff McNeil far eclipsed the arrivals.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/ny-mets-reportedly-meant-to-be-for-2x-all-star-as-kyle-tucker-negotiations-ramp-up"></div>


It felt as signing Tucker was the only way Mets fans could find it in their hearts to forgive David Stearns for an otherwise farewell-filled winter. If that hope is suddenly snatched away from the fanbase in Queens, it may be too much to handle. The fact the organization is unaware of where Tucker stands can be seen as a bad sign of where New York is in its pursuit.



<h2>Cody Bellinger and Mets rumors</h2>



If Tucker does indeed sign with another <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> team, the Mets would have extra cash in their pockets, and everyone in Queens would expect them to spend it immediately. The most obvious target may be former Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger. 



It’s becoming a go-to move for Stearns and Steve Cohen, who could be dubbed one-trick ponies because of it. Still, landing stars who bolster the lineup in Queens while breaking hearts in the Bronx may be too good an opportunity to pass up. Still, until Tucker announces his next step, anything can happen.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">New York Mets</a> have endured a whirlwind offseason, parting ways with franchise cornerstones like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pete-alonso">Pete Alonso</a>, Edwin Díaz, Brandon Nimmo, and Jeff McNeil. Fans are frustrated with the roster shakeup, but the potential addition of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker">Kyle Tucker</a> adds excitement and urgency. Despite the upheaval, Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns remains confident in his long-term vision.



Stearns, who grew up a Mets fan, spoke candidly about the pressure this offseason has created. “I certainly understand that there have been points in this offseason that have been frustrating for our fan base,“ he said, according to AP News.



He also added, “We’re not blind to that at all. I hear it. I recognize it I hear it from my friends and family, at times. We’re doing what we believe is right for the franchise moving forward.”



The Mets have been active in reshaping their roster, signing closer <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/devin-williams">Devin Williams</a>, infielder Jorge Polanco, and reliever Luke Weaver, while acquiring Gold Glove second baseman Marcus Semien from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers">Texas Rangers</a>. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/27160642/David-Stearns-1920x1080.webp" alt="David Stearns" class="wp-image-267656" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px"></figure><figcaption>David Stearns of the New York Mets celebrates in the locker room. John Fisher/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



These moves, Stearns believes, are part of creating a well-rounded team capable of contending in 2026 and beyond. “We’ve got elite talent at the top of our major league roster. We’ve got a very good farm system. And we’ve got a very good present-day major league team as we sit here today that’s going to get better before we get to Opening Day,” he explained.



<h2>What fans can expect in 2026</h2>


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/ny-mets-receive-kyle-tucker-free-agent-update-as-cody-bellinger-bo-bichette-rumors-heat-up"></div>


Looking ahead, Stearns emphasized the team’s commitment to developing young talent. “We are putting together a roster that will allow us to win games in somewhat different ways than maybe we have over the past couple of years,” Stearns said.

The Mets’ offseason strategy combines patience with a clear vision: prioritize long-term competitiveness while remaining open to strategic acquisitions. The pursuit of Tucker represents a key test of this approach, potentially setting the tone for how the team enters the 2026 season.

NY Mets president delivers confident message on team overhaul amid Tucker pursuit

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">New York Mets</a> have shown no fear to make splashes in the 2025-26 MLB offseason. Obviously, Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz’s departures have left their mark on the Orange and Blue, but the prospect of acquiring Kyle Tucker may far outweigh that. Moreover, another report hints a move for a decorated veteran could be imminent.



There aren’t many names out in free agency or the trade market that the Mets haven’t been linked to. In some cases, those connections are far-fetched, but in other, they make complete sense. When it comes to Houston Astros veteran pitcher Framber Valdez, the latter may be the more accurate example. According to a report around MLB, whether New York lands <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker">Tucker</a> or not, the two-time All-Star ace is likely headed to Queens.



“With or without Tucker, Valdez makes too much sense for the Mets not to place him atop a rotation with Nolan McLean, David Peterson, Clay Holmes and Sean Manaea, with Jonah Tong and Brandon Sproat back in the minor leagues for further seasoning,” as reported by ESPN’s Jeff Passan.



Valdez rejected the Astros’ qualifying offer in order to become an unrestricted free agent in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a>. Now, the two-time All-Star selection has made it clear he is after the big bucks, and the Mets may come up with just the right offer to lure him into the easternmost borough.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/10142518/framber-valdez-1920x1080.webp" alt="Framber Valdez" class="wp-image-543341"></figure><figcaption>Framber Valdez at Daikin Park</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Valdez’s numbers</h2>



Though the 2022 World Series champion witnessed his production take a big bump during the 2025 MLB season, he has proven to be a reliable option for a Mets’ team that could really use a veteran presence on the mound.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/ny-mets-rumors-team-reportedly-pursues-two-time-gold-glove-winner-amid-kyle-tuckers-uncertainty"></div>


Last year, Valdez appeared in 31 games for Houston, recording 192.0 innings pitched. However, he also posted career-worst numbers, allowing 171 hits, 82 runs, and 78 earned runs. Additionally, Valdez squandered 15 home runs and 88 bases on balls/walks. On the flip side, he struck out 187 batters (third best mark in his eight-year career).



<h2>Updates on Tucker</h2>



While the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/ny-mets-set-final-budget-limit-to-pursue-star-kyle-tucker-as-former-ny-yankees-cody-bellinger-remains-in-play">Mets have reportedly set a budget limit to pursue Tucker, as Cody Bellinger remains in play</a>, New York has made it clear the former Chicago Cubs’ hitter is its top priority. 



However, as interested as the Mets are, they may not be as desperate as their competitors in the market. According to a report in MLB, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-blue-jays-gain-kyle-tucker-edge-amid-aggressive-ny-mets-dodgers-push">Toronto Blue Jays have gained the edge in the race for Tucker</a>, and that is mainly because the 2025 World Series runner-ups are more willing to accommodate Tucker’s steep demands (both in terms of money and contract length).


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="6967bbda83cd5ad944865c94" data-title="Would you be pleased with the NY Mets&apos; offseason if they sign Valdez but miss out on Tucker?" data-options="4"></div>

NY Mets reportedly meant to be for 2x All-Star as Kyle Tucker negotiations ramp up - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays">Toronto Blue Jays</a> entered the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker">Kyle Tucker</a> sweepstakes knowing they would need more than star power to separate themselves from the pack. As the market tightens and decisions loom, Toronto’s approach is beginning to look increasingly deliberate — and potentially decisive.



While the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">New York Mets</a> and Los Angeles Dodgers have floated aggressive short-term offers, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-ny-yankees-face-bad-kyle-tucker-news-as-cody-bellinger-bo-bichette-paths-fade">New York Yankees, meanwhile, are facing bad Kyle Tucker news</a>, even as Toronto has quietly positioned itself as the one club willing to meet Tucker where he started the offseason: long‑term security and organizational commitment.



With Tucker’s decision expected soon, recent insider reporting suggests the Blue Jays may have created meaningful leverage at the exact moment urgency peaks across the league.



<h2>Do the Blue Jays hold a structural advantage over other bidders?</h2>



According to Jeff Passan, Toronto’s edge lies not in average annual value, but in its readiness to guarantee years — a key differentiator in a market dominated by shorter, high-dollar proposals.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/14085309/kyle-tucker-blue-jays-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-561671"></figure><figcaption>Kyle Tucker #30 with the Cubs in action against the Angels. Luke Hales/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



“Urgency is paramount in Toronto after the Blue Jays’ heartbreaking World Series loss to the Dodgers,” Passan wrote. “The Jays are firmly in the mix on Kyle Tucker and still the likeliest team to give him the big-money, long-term deal he’s seeking.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/ny-yankees-make-urgent-pitching-move-as-cody-bellinger-uncertainty-lingers"></div>


<h2>What happens if Tucker prioritizes long-term certainty?</h2>



If Tucker ultimately favors years over headline-grabbing annual figures, Toronto may emerge as the natural landing spot — even if other suitors close the financial gap in the short term.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="6967a4b183cd5ad944865c8f" data-title="What will ultimately decide Kyle Tucker’s free agency?" data-options="4"></div>


With clarity expected within days, the Blue Jays appear well-positioned to turn patience into payoff. Should that happen, Toronto would not only land the top free agent on the board, but also reinforce its standing as a destination willing to commit — fully — when opportunity demands it.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Mets</a> have shown plenty of interest in many players this offseason but haven’t been able to close the deals. However, there is a timeline where they could know what will happen with Kyle Tucker and see if he decides to land in the Big Apple.



According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, “I would not be surprised if it were this week, next week, sometime soon.“ In other words, the fact is that the Mets will know Tucker’s decision very soon. 



The Mets need to land <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tucker</a>, otherwise, the alternatives are not great. The Mets are also trying to land Cody Bellinger, but the Yankees seem to be in pole position to keep those services.



<h2>Mets are somewhat desperate</h2>



When the Mets saw an exodus of key players leave at the beginning of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLB</a> offseason, they knew they had to go strong in acquiring big names to apeace the fans. However, they haven’t been able to do much. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/10130936/carlos-mendoza-6-1920x1080.webp" alt="Carlos Mendoza" class="wp-image-559556"></figure><figcaption>Manager Carlos Mendoza #64 of the New York Mets.</figcaption></figure>



So, missing on Tucker would be another big blow to a team who thought that was close to a World Series. The reality is that after a second-half of the season collapse, the team is now closer to a rebuild to a contender.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/ny-mets-receive-kyle-tucker-free-agent-update-as-cody-bellinger-bo-bichette-rumors-heat-up"></div>


<h2>Tucker already received an offer from the Mets</h2>

However, that is not deterring them from trying to land Tucker. It’s time for Tucker to make a decision and if he goes to the Mets, he could become pretty much an instant icon.

MLB insider gives timeline over Kyle Tucker’s decision amid NY Mets interest

Recent developments involving the New York Mets and Kyle Tucker highlight the team’s strategic moves as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/kyle-tucker-reportedly-aware-of-potential-ny-mets-offer-with-a-decision-expected-soon" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">they reportedly extended an offer to Tucker for the upcoming season</a>. Meanwhile, amidst a swirl of trade rumors, the Mets continue to actively seek additional players to enhance their roster.



A report from NYM News on X reveals that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mets</a> have inquired about two-time Gold Glove winner Brenton Doyle from the Colorado Rockies. “The Mets and Rockies have discussed a trade for CF Brenton Doyle, according to industry sources,” the report stated.



The rumor mill indicates that the New York’s franchise might consider additions akin to Luis Robert Jr. but with more budget-friendly options, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/not-cody-bellinger-ny-mets-reportedly-willing-to-do-whatever-it-takes-to-sign-coveted-free-agent" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">as the Mets are reportedly determined to secure Tucker for the next season.</a> This ambition underscores their strategic financial planning and roster enhancement efforts.



To maintain a competitive edge, the front office is reportedly pursuing cost-effective acquisitions, recognizing the substantial investment that a potential offer for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kyle-tucker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tucker</a> would represent. With looming salary commitments in 2026, the Mets are meticulously managing their financial resources.

<h2>Rumors connecting Tucker to the Mets</h2>



Fans hold high expectations for the possible addition of Tucker to the roster. However, they are aware of the challenges, as other formidable teams like the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/ny-yankees-take-clear-stance-on-ny-mets-top-target-as-cody-bellinger-talks-stall" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Yankees are in the mix to sign him, which reportedly made their stance clear on the former Cubs player.</a>

<h2>Doyle’s potential role with the Mets</h2>



Amid the uncertainty surrounding Tucker, Doyle emerges as a viable target for the Mets’ center field, offering a promising addition to the roster despite belonging to one of last season’s less successful MLB teams. His defensive prowess could be a valuable asset for the team.



With a .233 batting average, .274 on-base percentage, .376 slugging percentage, 15 home runs, 57 RBIs, 117 hits, and 57 runs scored, Doyle’s performance could make a meaningful impact on the Mets. His opportunity to shine with a playoff-contending franchise enhances the team’s prospects as it approaches the regular season.
