The biggest story so far this off-season has been surrounding Tucker and where he will end up signing and how big of a contract he will end up getting as many expect him to sign for around $300 million.
Tucker took to social media yesterday to announce that he and his wife are expecting a little boy soon which is when his former teammate and current Blue Jay, Straw tried to recruit him.

Tucker and Straw played together for the Houston Astros and developed a close friendship as he was a groomsman at Straw's wedding.

While this attempt was not a serious recruiting pitch, clearly both the Blue Jays players and management would love to add Straw to their lineup for next season if they can agree on a deal this winter.
