The Toronto Blue Jays plan on having a big off-season and it looks like there is a real chance they land the top free agent available in Kyle Tucker.
The Blue Jays main focus in free agency will be going after a starting pitcher but it looks like they also focus on bringing in a big time hitter.

The Blue Jays have gotten quite a bit of value from their World Series run when it comes to landing top free agents as they have now become a top destination in the off-season.
According to a recent report, the Blue Jays actually have a real shot at landing Tucker this off-season as they are seen as one of the top landing spots for the outfielder.
General Managers across the league expect Kyle Tucker to sign either the Yankees, Blue Jays, or Dodgers, per @BNightengale
MLB insider Bob Nightengale even went as far as saying that the Blue Jays are probably the favorites to land Tucker this winter.
Toronto Blue Jays: They just earned an extra $50 million or so in revenue from their World Series run. They'll put it right back into the team and could be the favorite for Kyle Tucker. -Nightengale
The Blue Jays had quite a few players enter free agency this off-season which means they have a lot of room on their payroll to make some massive offers to the top free agents like Tucker.
While Tucker slowed down a bit over the last two years due to injury issues, he still considered one of the most consistent hitters in baseball as he finished with a .266 batting average and .377 on base percentage this season.
If the Blue Jays do land Tucker, they will need to move some pieces around in their outfielder but clearly it is something they are willing to do if they land such a massive star.
