Since the loss in the World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays have been aggressive to say the least in the free agent market, their biggest target is former Chicago Cubs outfield Kyle Tucker who Vladimir Guerrero Jr expressed his interest in
The Blue Jays made an offer to Tucker as it was announced this afternoon yet the total amount of the contract is still unknown.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. doesn't hide his interest in Kyle Tucker joining the Blue Jays.
Aaliyan Mohammed of Newsweek has reported on the growing interest in Kyle Tucker and now Vladdy Jr.. Tucker is easily the best free agent available right now, and if you put him and Vladdy on the same team, it'll be a nightmare for opposing team's pitchers.
"Guerrero is doing his part in trying to get Tucker on the Blue Jays. Tucker posted a video of himself working out on Wednesday. Guerreo commented under the post. He didn't use words, but rather an emoji of two eyes looking to the side, often used to mean that one is watching or finds something interesting."-Mohammed
Tucker was recently hosted by the Blue Jays at their practice facility in Florida, not too far from where Tucker is from in Tampa. Ross Atkins did not want to reveal too much information on how the negotiations are going, but contract talks are definitely heating up.
"Tucker is a four-time All-Star and has 134 home runs since 2021. He had a down year this season, but his home and away splits show that he was a phenomenal hitter away from Wrigley Field. He hit 15 of his 22 home runs on the road and had a .923 OPS on the road. His OPS at home was .747. Perhaps all he needs to start putting up superstar numbers is to not play half of his games at Wrigley Field."-Mohammed
Vladdy and Tucker have the opportunity to build something special in Toronto together. And adding him to the team will put them right back as favorites to win the American League again and have another shot at the World Series.
