Mets, Yankees Among Big-Market Teams Pursuing Free Agent Kyle Tucker

Free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker, 28, is drawing interest from the Mets, Yankees, Orioles, and other major market teams. The former Chicago Cub was a 2025 All-Star, posting a 143 OPS+ with 22 HR, 73 RBI, and 25 SB. With a career .865 OPS, Tucker offers an elite left-handed bat. His primary right field role could necessitate outfield shuffling for potential suitors like the Mets (Juan Soto to left) or Yankees (Tucker to left, Judge in right).
