Kyle Tucker Nearly Picked Blue Jays Before Dodgers Outbid Them, Per Report

Dodgers Nation cited Whit Merrifield saying Tucker “really wanted” Toronto, but the numbers didn’t match. “Toronto felt his value was $35 million a year for 10 years,” Merrifield said. “The Dodgers said, ‘How about $60 million a year?’” Tucker ultimately chose Los Angeles, where he’s expected to anchor the lineup and play right field as the club keeps flexing its financial muscle.
