The Mets’ current offseason is starting to feel like a case study in disappointment. After shattering records to land Juan Soto not long ago, they’ve been oddly quiet this time around.

With about a month to go until Spring Training, could the high end of the free-agent market be on the verge of heating up? The Cubs agreed to a deal with third baseman Alex Bregman on Saturday, taking one of the top available hitters off the board.

Outfielder Kyle Tucker is our top-ranked free agent of the offseason, and it appears his market is beginning to crystallize. The reigning-champion Dodgers, reigning AL-champion Blue Jays, and Mets are the three primary pursuers of Tucker right now and have all met with Tucker either remotely or in person, Jim Duquette reports.

Kyle Tucker remains the biggest name still sitting on the open market this offseason. And so far, there’s no clear favorite to land him.

"The Mets are seen as one of three top contenders for Kyle Tucker and will be 'opportunistic,' if they can match up," Heyman wrote. "What might make things tough: The other two top contenders, as SNY’s Jim Duquette said, are the attractive World Series combatants, the Jays and Dodgers."
