The Toronto Blue Jays have been linked to free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker all offseason, but they would be better served to pursue Cody Bellinger instead. It’s easy to envision either slugger in Toronto’s lineup next season. Bellinger is a better value signing, would weaken their AL East rivals, the New York Yankees, and is the superior defensive player.
The Blue Jays’ front office has been more aggressive than any other MLB team over the past month-plus, having committed $277 million to free agent pitchers Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, and Tyler Rogers.
