The New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets are always seemingly in the mix when it comes to superstar free agents. Well, if Kyle Tucker hits free agency after the season, he could stir up quite the bidding war.Tucker is a three-time All-Star, Gold Glover and Silver Slugger. The Chicago Cubs acquired him in a trade in the offseason, and he has been a key player for them. The Cubs have one of the best offenses in baseball, and Tucker is a huge reason why.The Yankees reportedly tried to trade for Tucker in the offseason, but clearly nothing materialized. What are their chances of landing him on the open market?”They had interest in trading for Kyle Tucker this past offseason before the Cubs traded for him,” The Athletic’s Chris Kirschner replied to a question about Tucker joining the Yankees. “With how the Cubs (and Tucker) are playing, I would imagine Chicago will try its best in re-signing him long-term. Otherwise, what is the point of trading for him (unless they win the World Series)? Recent history suggests the Yankees won’t be the team that lands Tucker in free agency. When was the last time the Yankees landed a major external position player?”It may not be easy for the Cubs to re-sign Tucker. He is projected to earn a 12-year, $525 million deal, and that number could reach $600 million if there is a bidding war for him in a rather lackluster free agent class.The Yankees, as Kirschner noted, do not have the best track record of landing star position players from other teams when they hit the market. However, if their interest from the offseason is any indication, they will make an attempt at Tucker.More MLB: Yankees’ Paul Skenes Trade Idea Ends Anthony Volpe Experiment With 4-Player Swap
