MLB rumors: Mets’ reported $50 million Kyle Tucker offer comes with a catch

As the MLB offseason progresses, the services of free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker are still highly sought after. The market’s top player has been pursued by several teams throughout the free agency window. Now, one team has reportedly made an explosive offer for the star outfielder. According to FanSided’s Robert Murray and other sources, the New York Mets have offered Tucker a short-term deal worth $50 million a season.

“The New York Mets are pursuing superstar outfielder Kyle Tucker — and have made a short-term offer worth $50 million per season, sources say,” Murray wrote. “John Mincone first reported the Mets’ offer.”

While the offer does come as a mild surprise, it’s not surprising that the Mets are in on Tucker. Longtime first baseman Pete Alonso signed with the Baltimore Orioles in free agency. Closer Edwin Diaz left for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Other key pieces, like outfielder Brandon Nimmo and utilityman Jeff McNeil, have also left Queens. New York owner Steve Cohen, the richest of his peers, is not afraid to open his checkbook to get back to October. Can the Mets lure in the market’s top free agent for the second straight offseason?
