REPORT: Mets Looking at $120-140 Million Deal for Kyle Tucker | Will He Sign a Three-Year Deal?

New York Mets push for Kyle Tucker with a blockbuster three-year, $120–140 million deal. Could this short-term, high-AAV offer give the Mets an edge over rivals like the Dodgers and Blue Jays—and entice Tucker to opt out for an even bigger payday next year?

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the Mets’ aggressive strategy, exploring contract structures, opt-outs, and the impact of deferrals on luxury tax.  

The episode highlights the dynamic between Juan Soto’s megadeal and the front office’s approach to superstar acquisitions. Key topics include Tucker’s potential fit alongside Soto and Francisco Lindor, the ripple effects for Mets prospects, and the high-stakes race to reshape the lineup before Opening Day.  

With Tucker’s market heating up, will the Mets seal the deal and revitalize fan optimism, or see their rivals steal the spotlight?
