Kyle Tucker recounts free-agency talks with Blue Jays: ‘They’re a good organization’

TORONTO — Kyle Tucker won’t forget what the Toronto Blue Jays did for him in 2024. As the outfielder, then with the Houston Astros, recovered from a fractured shin, the Jays allowed Tucker to use the club’s new rehab facilities at Rogers Centre, even though he was an opponent.Tucker, who considered signing with Toronto this offseason before ultimately landing with the Los Angeles Dodgers, arrived early at the ballpark throughout that 2024 July series. Before Blue Jays players got to the ballpark, Tucker used the underwater treadmill and got a rare glimpse at the home side’s recently renovated player facilities.Advertisement
