2026 Toronto Blue Jays Season Thread

[bluejays]

Money is the ultimate factor for guys choosing a place. Suarez is $26M AAV. Tucker and Bo are licking their lips because comparatively they’re going to get paid.

He's been super effective but I'm still fine with Ranger Suarez getting $26MM per for 5 years from an AL East team. I don't doubt teams will struggle initially but I wouldn't bet on that repertoire aging all that well.

[bluejays]

Tucker to be/is offered a 10 year deal by the Jays? Terrible idea IMO.

^ Unless there is a couple options, at say 6 and 8 years.
Word is the Mets may be adding a 4th year, yes, @$50MM.

Also stated he could sign as soon as tomorrow.

[Roof-Daddy]

Give him 10 if that's what it takes. I don't care, we might all be dead by then lol

Yeah. The Jays are go to have some dead money in the mid to late 2030s as it is (unless you think Vladdy is going to be worth $40MM in his 40 year old season). Tacking on some more dead money then to win now doesn't seem like that big a problem to me.

Just get it done. 10 years, whatever it takes. This lineup with Tucker is just drool worthy.

Im not sure how I want to feel.

This feels like a setup for the Dodgers to snag him

Yeah. Jays offer term, Mets offer high AAV.

Dodgers say, "why not both?"

[howard_the_duck]

If there’s anything to that he wants to play closer to home in Florida, the Jays have the edge.

My gut says the Jays finally get their guy and everyone will be left to debate if they paid too much.

[Inferno]

That MoccBomb guy is saying Tucker to the Blue Jays as of 26 minutes ago.

[Jiggy_12]

This day feels like Dec 9th 2023.

This time though, I won't have my soul crushed if we don't get him. We've already had an A+ offseason...this would be the cherry on top.

[Jiri Hrdina]

Let's have a Tucker signing and Rasmus trade on the same day. Its' been a long time since we crashed the site, but that combination might just do it!

[flamingred89]

And so it begins.

I think I'm probably more bearish than most on Tucker. Obviously he would be an upgrade but I think the term and dollars are going to be massive for a dude who's shown some signs of regression already and will be on his 3rd team in 3 years.

Sentimentally I would still like the Jays to sign Bo over anyone else. Part of what made last year so special was the clubhouse and you could tell those dudes all loved each other. If they're bringing in like 6 new faces and have a disgruntled Berrios to deal with that could put ripples in that room.

Yes! That'll ruin Photon's afternoon and is the type of chaos I live for!

Toronto has gone from 36% to 71% on Kalshi for whatever that's worth.

EDIT: 85% now - https://kalshi.com/markets/kxnexttea...mmlb-26ktucker

Well, now it's basically 50/50 haha.

[dino7c]

how can one team be at 63% and another be at 76%

[Mathgod]

My guess is it updates based on the bets coming in, but the updates are delayed.

Wild fluctuations right now. Suddenly the Mets are surging.
