Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker will end up with the biggest contract from MLB free agency, and both New York-based teams will be in the running for his signature.

Tucker is a well-rounded baseball player who can contribute across multiple facets of the game, though he is not elite in any one category; instead, he is a complementary player who enhances the team around him.

The Cubs, given their other roster holes and already inflated payroll, are unlikely to bring him back, though they will likely remain in the picture if his market does not develop as intended.

The former Houston Astro is only 28 years old and already has a World Series title to his name, along with a Gold Glove, two Silver Sluggers, and four All-Star appearances.

Tucker has the perfect storm heading into free agency this winter — a weak outfield class, multiple outfield-needy teams, and several big payroll contenders who could use a player like him.

Still, his deal and landing spot will be hard to predict, especially given his massive contract, which could be around 10 years and $400 million.

According to Jeff Passan, the Yankees and Mets are reportedly in the mix to sign him, along with the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

“Tucker’s desire to win, though, will be a guiding principle, keeping the New York Yankees and Mets — despite the presence of their MVP-caliber right fielders, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto — in the mix for the time being,” Passan wrote.

The Yankees are already keeping Trent Grisham, who picked up his qualifying offer, though Cody Bellinger is still a free agent, and they will likely need to choose between him and Tucker.

The Mets, meanwhile, could use an upgrade in the outfield. Tucker and Juan Soto would lock in the corner spots for the next decade of baseball in New York, giving them good range offensively and defensively.

Considering how much more both teams are already spending, it has to see them opening the checkbook. Talents like Tucker could help put any team over the top, and both organizations are desperate to win a World Series.
