You would think he would have more suitors and multiple long term offers to choose from.
2026 MLB Thread + Hot Stove Off Season
Tucker is the best of this years crop but not historically good. However it doesn’t seem like he’s asking Juan Soto money either. Strange
But more than that, is impending potential lockout/strike scaring teams?
I wanted them to go after pitching (was hoping for Valdez, but this is probably a much better price point)

50 million a year for a player that is not historically good is exactly why this game is shrinking.
Teams are generally hesitant to hand out 5 year contracts to 30 year old pitchers.

Is that for real? When I went to a game last year there was a substantial Latin flavor within the stadium. They had in game activities and promotions that were Latin-centric, such as a name that tune that was in Spanish. A lot of people inside the stadium wore Mets jerseys that were also branded from like Puerto Rico, for example. So it is obviously important to the Mets, and that’s cool. But guaranteeing 10 guys on the roster will be Latin seems nuts, if not illegal.
Doesn’t look like it. I saw Met Beat writer in the bio and then I saw he doubled down on it today. I dug a little more and it looks like a bot or satire account.
Carry on nothing to see here
It’s also not real

MLB last night talking about Skubal.
Deal him in winter
Deal him at deadline (hoping no injury)
Or let him walk
They basically said there is no chance of an extension and that he would be going to one of the 6 mentioned in every other free agent signing.
Its wild that this is still a thing.

The Tigers have money which is the funny thing. But the Skubal free agency won’t go their way. He’s as good as gone. BUT:
If I’m the Tigers GM I overpay if I have to for Valdez.
Keep Skubal, Go for it and let him walk.
Sets them up with an ace WHEN Skubal leaves for LA and puts them in World Series contention this year for the fans.

And so do many (not all) others. The Cubs were somehow able to find enough coins in the couch to pay for Bregman.
Are you ******* kidding me?
Coach Prime was out twice in that sequence...and man, the players just in that one clip - Neon Deion, Terry Pendleton, David Justice, Devon White, Robbie Alomar...

This sport should die
What's even the point anymore?
Can't wait to see the contract structure - 5 years, $200 million, with $150 million deferred until 2050.

I think this is great news.
The league is one step closer from a full fracture, and the Jays don't need that lazy sack on their roster. I hope he goes full Rendon in LA.

You know what I meant
Not saying he's a bad player or anything, because he's not...but I didn't see the allure at the prices I was seeing - especially coming off a down year that followed an injury year where he played less than 100 games.
Teams are paying for the player that existed two years and a broken shin ago.
