Mets offer Kyle Tucker $50 million per year in chase for top MLB free agent
NY Post
An offseason that to this moment has been known for change instead could be remembered for dollars — a lot of them.
The Mets have offered Kyle Tucker a short-term contract that is worth $50 million per season, a source confirmed Tuesday. FanSided first reported the eye-opening average annual value proposal, which would place Tucker behind only Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto for the best-paid player per season in the sport.
The specifics of the pact are not clear, but it would be a shorter deal that would see Steve Cohen pay $101 million per year to a pair of starting corner outfielders, pairing Tucker with Soto ($51 million per).
Also unclear are the offers from Mets competitors. The teams most often linked with Tucker have been the Blue Jays, who hosted him at their facility in Dunedin, Fla., in December, and the Dodgers, who seem to lurk around every superstar sweepstakes.
