Kyle Tucker: “I would say Toronto is leading the pack right now.”

There are three teams that talk about Kyle Tucker the most right now: the Blue Jays, the Dodgers and the Mets.

I'm not sure how much Tucker wants to sign with the Mets, who haven't made too much noise about it. Let's see.

But as it became clear that Tucker would likely sign in the short term, the Dodgers began to panic about it. After all, they excel at the art of negotiating small contracts for a few years… but a large annual salary.

After all, if you're signing for a short term contract, why not do it for the big money within the dynasty?

But the Blue Jays shouldn't be overlooked. Not only are the Canadiens in the best position to secure a long-term deal, but we're also talking about a very attractive team right now.

How seriously should we take the Blue Jays, who have often looked like the favorites in this one?

Despite Kazuma Okamoto's arrival in town, we all know the Blue Jays are still improving. And a left-handed hitting outfielder like him is worth his weight in gold.

According to Ken Rosenthal, who spoke with Foul Territory, the Blue Jays are certainly still the favorites.

Obviously, things can change quickly. The Dodgers are attractive and the Mets may be desperate, so one phone call could change everything.

When can we expect a conclusion?
