The Toronto Blue Jays swung and missed on signing star free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker.<\/p>\n
According to multiple reports, the four-time all-star and World Series champion has agreed to a four-year, US$240 million contract with the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers.Tucker can opt out of the deal after years two and three.<\/p>\n
Tucker, 28, spent the 2025 season with the Chicago Cubs, where he had 22 home runs, 73 RBIs and had 25 stolen bases in 136 games.<\/p>\n
He had spent the first seven years of his career with the Houston Astros, who dealt him to Chicago after the 2024 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tucker was reportedly made a long-term offer by the Blue Jays, with the New York Mets and Dodgers both making short-term offers.<\/p>\n
The Blue Jays have had an aggressive off-season after coming one win short of defeating the Dodgers for the World Series. Star shortstop Bo Bichette still remains on the market for a potential deal to stay in Toronto, though.<\/p>\n
