What’s the latest update on the potential Kyle Tucker, Bo Bichette contracts?<\/p>\n
The Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> keep making moves this winter. They have put the MLB<\/a> on notice with the additions of Dylan Cease<\/a>, Cody Ponce<\/a>, and Tyler Rogers<\/a> that they mean business. While they wait to see how the Bo Bichette<\/a> and Kyle Tucker<\/a> markets play out, they have added depth at multiple levels, including a pitching prospect with considerable potential.<\/a><\/p>\n The Blue Jays currently have a full 40-man roster, without making the Rogers signing official. Whether it\u2019s through options, waivers, or even trades<\/a>, some moves need to be made before new signings can be made official.<\/p>\n Mark Shapiro, the Blue Jays\u2019 CEO and President, has sent a message<\/a> to Bichette. He wants the team to be competitive, while also believing in the depth currently on the roster.<\/p>\n However, the fans clamoring for Toronto to land both Bichette and Tucker were given a harsh dose of reality. Some of that reality being delivered in the form of a rival stealing<\/a> Bichette. On the flip side, one potential Bichette suitor took themselves out of the race<\/a> with their new signing.<\/p>\n Toronto Blue Jays\u2019 Hopes of Adding Bo Bichette & Kyle Tucker Dashed<\/p>\n In a perfect world, the Blue Jays would sign both Bichette and Tucker. And just like Jeff Passan says, if there is any team that has a hope of adding both<\/a>, it\u2019s Toronto.<\/p>\n However, at least one insider believes expectations need to be tempered. Jon Morosi joined MLB Tonight on Monday, December 15th, 2025. During his appearance, he gave an update on the Blue Jays\u2019 situation regarding Bichette and Tucker.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is now the next question,\u201d Morosi said on the MLB Network<\/a>. \u201cBecause the Tucker market will impact Bo Bichette. We do not expect the Jays to get both; it is a one or the other scenario. It certainly seems as though the Tucker decision will come before the Bichette decision.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSo if Tucker ends up going to Toronto, Bichette (will) likely go elsewhere. Atlanta being one of the possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n Granted, this is not what Blue Jays fans want to hear. However, Morosi did say \u201clikely go elsewhere\u201d and not \u201cno way the Blue Jays can sign both.\u201d<\/p>\n With that dose of cold water aside, Morosi also provided a potential timeline for when a decision on Tucker<\/a> could be made.<\/p>\n \u201cI do think that we\u2019ll see in the next 48-72 hours\u2026Do the Yankees, do the Dodgers, do the Giants<\/a> jump in, or are the Blue Jays truly the favorites?\u201d<\/p>\n Whoever wins the Tucker sweepstakes, be that the New York Yankees<\/a>, Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a>, or the San Francisco Giants<\/a>, they will be adding a 22-home run, 73 RBI<\/a>, 25 stolen bases outfielder.<\/p>\n Bichette\u2019s Chances of Landing With the Atlanta Braves<\/p>\n The Blue Jays would love to add the offense of both players. However, the MLB is a business, not a candy store, so Toronto can\u2019t just walk up to every great offensive player and purchase their services.<\/p>\n As far as the Atlanta Braves<\/a>\u2018 chances of signing Bichette are concerned, the Blue Jays got some good news in that department. The Athletic\u2019s Ken Rosenthal revealed the likelihood of him going to Atlanta on Monday\u2019s installment of Foul Territory.<\/p>\n In responding to a fan question about the chances of Bichette signing with the Braves, he had this to say.<\/p>\n \u201cI would say extremely low,\u201d Rosenthal said on the December 15th, 2025 episode<\/a>. \u201cBo Bichette is one of the best hitters in this market. Maybe, in some ways, the best hitter. He hits good pitching; he hits all kinds of pitching. He is a threat from the right side.\u201d<\/p>\n Rosenthal goes on to explain that the big question with Bichette is not about the interest from teams, but what position he will play.<\/p>\n \u201cMy understanding is that he has received offers to play shortstop,\u201d Rosenthal said. \u201cCertain teams are looking at him as a shortstop. Are the Braves going to be one of those teams?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t expect that to be the case. And I don\u2019t expect them to be his ultimate landing spot.\u201d<\/p>\n Another wrinkle in the Blue Jays\u2019 desire to sign Bichette, is the Yankees. Just Baseball analyst believes that signing Bichette<\/a> is \u201cthe move they need to make.\u201d<\/p>\n On Monday night, the Braves agreed to a one-year contract<\/a> with Ha-Seong Kim<\/a> worth $20 million. This almost takes them out of the running<\/a> to sign Bichette.<\/p>\n Bichette knocked out 18 home runs in addition to 94 RBIs and 181 hits.<\/a><\/p>\n No matter which way this situation plays out, the Blue Jays will come into Spring Training with at least one of these two big-time sluggers.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tCaleb Kerney<\/a> Caleb covers the NHL for Heavy.com.
