Report: Blue Jays Have Made "Long-Term Offer" to Kyle Tucker

[Leo Morgenstern]

According to a report from ESPN, the Toronto Blue Jays have made "a long-term offer" to Kyle Tucker, the offseason's top free agent. It's no secret that the Blue Jays are interested in Tucker, but this is the first indication that they have made him a formal offer.

While no deal is imminent, and no further details have been made available, it's an exciting development nonetheless. That the Jays made an offer demonstrates the front office is still actively seeking upgrades, and ownership is willing to continue increasing payroll.

Of course, Toronto isn't alone in pursuing Tucker. ESPN's Jesse Rogers and FanSided's Robert Murray both reported that the New York Mets offered Tucker a short-term deal "believed to be worth $50 million per season." The Mets and Blue Jays currently seem to be the frontrunners for Tucker's services.

Bo's bat is extremely valuable. Yes, there are better fielders in the league, but I don't think there are any real considerations available for this position and certainly not for a mere 28M per year.

Tucker over Bo is a non brainer

I hope we don't sign Tucker. Around 30 million plus another 30 million in penalties is just too much

Sign Bo now?

I glad we didn't sign him. That's a lot of dough
