MLB Makes Kyle Tucker Announcement
Digest more
The Toronto Blue Jays missed out on Kyle Tucker, but there are still outfielders available for them to target.
It's no secret that before Kyle Tucker signed a four-year, $240 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers last week, the New York Mets were one of the finalists
Chicago Cubs president Jed Hoyer sent a clear message after losing top free agent Kyle Tucker to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Dodgers already have several players who fit the mold of a natural team leader or the front man for a franchise.
The Cubs parted with Isaac Paredes, Hayden Wesneski and heralded prospect Cam Smith in order to land Tucker, who was entering the final season of team control. It was viewed as a steep price considering questions as to whether or not the Cubs would make an effort to either sign Tucker to a contract extension or keep him in free agency.
Despite losing Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker this offseason, Ross Atkins and the Toronto Blue Jays are still active in the free-agent market. Their next major target could be Cody Bellinger, and landing him would also mean beating the New York Yankees.
