Few baseball fans were shocked when the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker late on January 15, despite the rumors that were pulling him in two other directions. The New York Mets and Toronto Blue Jays were his other top suitors.
The Mets reportedly offered Tucker a deal worth $50 million per year to join them in Queens. The Dodgers put that number to shame with a four-year, $240 million contract with deferrals, which works out to a $60 million average annual value (and frankly, Tucker has no business making that much).
As horrifying a superteam as LA is, Boston Red Sox fans can revel in Toronto's loss.
