Free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker and a $400 million contract have been attached at the hip in speculation all offseason long. But as the weeks have worn on, and with Tucker still unsigned, belief has grown that Tucker might actually sign with someone on a short-term, high-AAV deal.
It's not what Tucker wants, of course, but the market ultimately decides his fate, and that market has indicated -- from the outside looking in -- that only the Toronto Blue Jays are even considering the idea of a decade-long mega-deal for Tucker.
With each day that passes, it's becoming more likely that Tucker could end up signing a short-term contract in the vein described this week by ESPN's Paul Hembekides.
