It also includes a $64 million signing bonus and $30 million of deferred cash. Passan called it a \u201cstaggering deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But what did Tucker\u2019s offers from the New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays look like?<\/p>\n<p>We now know.<\/p>\n<p>It was originally reported that the Mets were offering Tucker a $50 million AAV, short-term deal. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JimDuquetteGM\/status\/2012011945071956073?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">MLB Network Radio\u2019s Jim Duquette<\/a> has reported that the Mets\u2019 final offer to Tucker was for four years and $220 million, equating to a $55 million AAV situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the Toronto offer. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JonHeyman\/status\/2012504551505465639\" rel=\"nofollow\">Jon Heyman of The New York Post<\/a> reported that the Blue Jays offered Tucker $350 million over 10 years.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Tucker\u2019s 2025 season with the Chicago Cubs provided a decent platform year before free agency. In 145 games, he batted .266 with 22 home runs, 73 RBI, an .841 OPS, and consistent contributions across the board, though a late-season dip and a calf injury limited his September play. Despite some inconsistency, Tucker remained an All-Star-caliber outfielder, blending power, patience, and defense.<\/p>\n<p>Drafted fifth overall by the Houston Astros in 2015, Tucker debuted in 2018 and quickly became a cornerstone. He helped Houston win the 2022 World Series, earned multiple All-Star nods, a Gold Glove, Silver Slugger awards, and posted strong numbers: a career .273 average, 147 home runs, and elite production from 2021-2023 (.278\/.353\/.517 slash with 89 homers and 69 steals). After a 2024 shin injury shortened his Astros tenure, he was traded to the Cubs that offseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"nesn-in-content-ad__copy\">Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Tucker entered free agency as a top prize. Now 29, he joins the defending champions to bolster their outfield for another title run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kyle Tucker agreed to a four-year, $240 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night.
