Mets opening the vault to sign Kyle Tucker?

48 comments

1. Win or Fire Stearns

2. If you’re willing to go 3, might as well go 5. I’m sure blue jays are offering 5-7 years

3. but only 3 years so with a kid on the way cb up jays long term will be better

4. He’s not signing with Mets unfortunately need to go atleast 5

5. I think it has to be 4-5 years at 48-50 million a year for it to happen. With opt outs after year 1 and year 3 and 4. Don’t see why Tucker would sign a short term deal over a 8-10 year deal (assuming ones out there). Giving up the next 3 years will hurt his later year earnings.

6. Even with Tucker they have a terrible 2nd half of a lineup. Baty, Alverez, Sieman, CF Benge?, DH Vientos?

7. Dude is always hurt.

8. Lol not happening. Sterns needs to stop with punk ass 3yr deals

9. Alonso -> Tucker
   Nimmo -> Polanco
   McNeil -> Siemien

   Mets improve in every spot.

10. I don't like it.

11. 30 million too much for Alonso but Tucker is worth 50 million???

    He ain’t a gold glove. His numbers are about even with Alonso overall at best with more contact but less power.

    I don’t get it.

12. They didn't lose Alonso, Nimmo & McNeal; they didn't want them because they needed to break up the core & I'm glad they did….I want to win!!

13. 50 mil is ridiculous

14. Hes a blue Jay. Write it down now

15. Great for Yankee fans if it keeps Tucker off the Jays. .

16. She has a terrible lisp

17. Jays have made a long term offer

18. Stearns is the mastermind that got us Sean Manaea at 25 mill for 3 years and Frankie Montas as a bonus and then let Diaz annd Pete walk! Stearns is clueless and so is Cohen trusting him to make the right decisions.

19. SIGN A PITCHER

20. Tucker should know Mets have to get through Dodgers to reach WS. Meanwhile, by joining Jays they’ll dominate AL!

21. Do something already!! This is getting ridiculous!!

22. What is this fascination? With sterns and his 3 years omg stop with this bull💩 sterns

23. Please, no. Can he handle N.Y?

24. Mets making a knee-jerk reaction here?? Why are they offering Tucker $50M AAV when they could have gotten both hometown, beloved Alonso and clubhouse leader Schwarber for $61M AAV? That is 94 home runs they gave up!!

25. The METS opening up the vault also means that STEVE COHEN is finally doing some arm twisting on the EVIL GRINCH STINGY STEARNS. ABOUT TIME!!

26. Stearns was 100% committed to getting tucker from the start, he would not of traded nimmo unless he was committed to getting Tucker

27. TUCKER is way more injury prone than ALONSO. He has neverhit 35 plus hrs, never has driven in 100 or more rbis, They're going to overpay. and hope he doesn't become another JASON BAY.

28. Joe Beningo wasn't invited 😂

29. 1/2 the player Alonso is and they are willing to give him 5o mil. Unreal. And still have not addressed the pitching. It’s crazy

30. Dodgers don’t do this, silent assassins are way more lethal!

31. Then they say wont dont spend like come on let the Kid ply with mr Cohens money the right way 💪LFGM

32. Give him 4

33. Why do Mets fans want them to bid against themselves?
    Also do you guys understand that whatever is offered, it's actually doubled due to the luxury tax?

34. Mets only offered 50 million because someone offered 60 million. They don't want to spend a dime, but also wants to make it look like their " all in".

35. BUT THEY WOULDN'T GIVE ALONSO WHAT HE WANTED? IDIOTS!
    Sounds like Cohen and Stearns trying to save face with angry fans.

36. Jason bay

37. THIS MAKES NO SENSE WHEN U HAVE NO PITCHING WASTE OF MONEY WHO EVER RUNNING THAT TEAM DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THERE DOING.

38. To all the baseball experts who are denigrating Alonso.
    Baltimore felt Alonso was worth it and where exactly did you buy the crystal ball that predicts at what age Alonso will not be productive?

39. Sal were BT at

40. What about 6-7?

41. Even nimmo had better.n numbers than tucker last year.50 millon really ? Its an absolute overreach probably in desperation we shall see sounds like cohen and sterns are attempting to save face

42. Nothing is going to happen here

43. They won't get him with a short term deal. He would like security at like 8 years for 400 million. Too many variables for him to miss out on money. He'll decline it. They need to throw in some sort of opt in for like another 3 years at 50 million after the first 3 years.

44. Not worth 50 mil a yr mets are desperate

45. we aren’t getting him.

46. Stearns doesn't like giving long contracts to position players? Then what do you call his ABSOLUTE refusal to sign pitchers to long term deals? Relatively speaking, they're MUCH more willing to sign position players than pitchers.

47. THEY COULD HAVE / SHOULD HAVE JUST RESIGNED ALONSO FOR 5 YEARS FOR 155!!!!

48. Should have signed Pete and Diaz
