The Blue Jays were undeniably in on Kyle Tucker, Bo Bichette, and Alex Bregman before the Okamoto news broke. Now that the market has shifted, it’s a perfect time to use a combination of new reporting and educated guesswork to predict where all three of those players will wind up. <\/p>\n
If you like our content,\u00a0choose Sports Illustrated as a preferred source on Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kyle Tucker: Toronto Blue Jays<\/p>\n Anyone who thought the Blue Jays would be done adding to their offense after bringing in Okamoto is likely to find out otherwise. According to Keegan Matheson<\/a> of MLB.com, “there’s still room for another upgrade” in Toronto in the wake of the Okamoto signing, and Tucker still fits in neatly with the surrounding pieces.<\/p>\n It’s hard to see Bregman fitting in now that the Jays have a new option at third base, so that next splash, if it comes, will likely be either the four-time All-Star Tucker or Bichette. And as tough as it is to part ways with a player who’s been in the organization nearly a decade, the Blue Jays should be willing to take a leap of faith. <\/p>\n Alex Bregman: Boston Red Sox Apr 24, 2025; Boston, Massachusetts, USA; Boston Red Sox third base Alex Bregman (2) hits a RBI single against the Seattle Mariners during the third inning at Fenway Park.

It’s got to be frustrating for Sox fans to see this thing continue to drag out, but we’re guessing their patience will prove worthwhile.<\/p>\n Bo Bichette: Los Angeles Dodgers<\/p>\n The Blue Jays re-signing Bichette and nabbing Tucker seemed remotely possible before the Okamoto news, but now, it’s a bit of a pipe dream. If Tucker lands in Toronto, as we’ve predicted above, then someone else is likely to swoop in on Bichette.<\/p>\n![\"Alex](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/01ke3cmxbfd8x7cgvgr5.jpg\" "\\"Alex")
