Tucker, 28, spent the 2025 season with the Chicago Cubs, where he had 22 home runs, 73 RBIs and had 25 stolen bases in 136 games.

He had spent the first seven years of his career with the Houston Astros, who dealt him to Chicago after the 2024 season.

Tucker was reportedly made a long-term offer by the Blue Jays, with the New York Mets and Dodgers both making short-term offers.

The Blue Jays have had an aggressive off-season after coming one win short of defeating the Dodgers for the World Series. Star shortstop Bo Bichette still remains on the market for a potential deal to stay in Toronto, though.
