    Kyle Tucker Watch TEMPERATURE Check! | Do You See Smoke Yet?!

    New York Mets ignite MLB free agency drama as Steve Cohen’s bold pursuit of Kyle Tucker shakes the market.   Will Tucker land in Queens on a record-shattering short-term megadeal, or will the Toronto Blue Jays counter with a decade-long offer to secure their next franchise cornerstone?   The entire baseball world awaits smoke signals as contract rumors swirl, social media explodes, and Cohen’s high-stakes tactics put both teams—and fan bases—on edge.
