Kyle Tucker Watch TEMPERATURE Check! | Do You See Smoke Yet?!

New York Mets ignite MLB free agency drama as Steve Cohen’s bold pursuit of Kyle Tucker shakes the market.  

Will Tucker land in Queens on a record-shattering short-term megadeal, or will the Toronto Blue Jays counter with a decade-long offer to secure their next franchise cornerstone?  

The entire baseball world awaits smoke signals as contract rumors swirl, social media explodes, and Cohen’s high-stakes tactics put both teams—and fan bases—on edge.

Ryan Finkelstein breaks down the front office chess match, Tucker’s true fit alongside Juan Soto, and how these moves could impact the Mets’ pursuit of stars like Framber Valdez or possible trades for Jarren Duran and Lars Nootbaar. Discussion covers luxury tax implications, opt-outs, and how New York’s appetite for elite talent is setting a new standard.  

Can the Mets turn Cohen’s relentless push into a headline signing, or will rival GMs outmaneuver baseball’s most daring owner?
