That’s a great offer. It’s hard to make up for the Dodgers and Mets blowing all evaluations out of the water.

I mean why not 10/$1b? No cap right??

Look at Kyle Tuckers’ career. How did get to this point? He just isn’t this good, not even close.
Suspicious_Hand_2194
These overpaid short term deals gotta stop cuz this offer was actually really good
SDL68
Jays dodged a bullet. He ain’t worth it.
Pleasant-Nebula-7237
Not that good of a player Toronto! You dodged a headache!
thebrah329
Oh yeah, not even remotely close lol

I expected something like $40M-$43M x. 10. I didn’t expect an AAV of $60M
Due_Connection179
$35M AAV is very reasonable for Tucker and good on the Blue Jays for not chasing the Dodgers & Mets into where it eventually ran to.

I dislike the Dodgers immensely.

People need to understand that now that Tucker who is good but not great, has now raised the price on all player good and bad.
Say what you want, but eventually the game will become too expensive for most fans driving down profit for all teams and hitting those who are smaller the hardest.
Pretty soon the WS and playoffs will just be team scrimmage because you might only have 16 teams if that left that can afford to pay the players.

Even that’s probably a bit of an overpay. I would have avoided any long term deals and certainly wouldn’t offer more than $30 million a season
Kouzzzz
Can’t even be mad. Would not have wanted at 38 year old Kyle Tucker on my team making that much
DJSimmer305
As a Yankees fan who went through this with Soto last year, Jays fans shouldn’t be upset. Your team made a good, solid offer, but someone else made a bigger one.
Just hope your team is willing to pivot and use that money to make some smaller additions now.

All that for an aging injury prone modest bat? What are we doing here?
RC245
Everybody seemed to know that 40 x 10 would be competitive. Surprised they didn’t just go the extra mile.

Instead of a lockout can the other teams just kick the Dodgers out of the MLB?
txlgnd34
Barring significant injury or decline, it seems plenty reasonable that he could get 6/90 in four years if doesn’t opt out. Premium price for his peak years with upside of another 20-30 AAV contract when he’s 32.
retroanduwu24
if i was him I would have taken this
BigHotdog2009
Seems like a great and realistic offer instead of the NBA contract he was given
sspiegel
yeah seems dodgers figured out how to use their huge rev, sign these tier 2 players to huge short term contracts. and not be stuck with a tier 3. player for 5 years after that. rinse repeat. they want to win as much as possible during their current window. Yankees on the other hand…
SavingThrowVsWTF
LOL @ teams that were falling all over themselves for this guy.
camel_walk
Hey Cleveland – why don’t ya send Steven Kwan up north…
JoeGPM
