Blue Jays’ John Schneider Sends Dodgers Message After Kyle Tucker Update

[Battlefiel]

I'm torn ... I mean, I know I said earlier that the Blue Jays would never make a decent move unless Ohtani was involved, but now I'm thinking maybe they've got something going on with Tucker ... I mean, it's not like they're competing with the Dodgers for him or anything, right? But at the same time, Schneider seems kinda gushy about Tucker's skills and all that jazz ... can't help but wonder if he's just trying to spin a narrative to make Ohtani look even worse than last year . And what's with this whole "maybe we'll return gifts" thing? Either way, I'm rooting for the Jays to snag Tucker and show us all they're more than just a one-man show ... or am I just setting myself up for disappointment again?

omg what's going on with the blue jays they really think they can catch kyle tucker now after all the drama with ohtani i mean schneider said he was pleased but like why not just say it out loud lol? did he think he could get away with making jokes last time and what's up with the gifts, blue jay hat and jacket, that's some weird stuff anyway, if tucker is coming to toronto i'm here for it maybe this means the blue jays will actually have a chance at winning something besides just making the playoffs

I'm intrigued by John Schneider's demeanor towards Kyle Tucker - it seems he's more candid this time around . The fact that Schneider was more forthcoming about his interest in signing Tucker after Atkins confirmed the outfielder's visit is telling. It's almost as if Schneider wanted to send a clear message, showcasing the team's enthusiasm for adding Tucker to their roster.

On the other hand, I'm reminded of Ohtani's record-breaking deal with the Dodgers - it's clear that signing him proved to be a hurdle for the Blue Jays . However, Schneider's comments suggest that they're willing to put in the effort this time around, which is admirable. The fact that Tucker's visit was more productive than Ohtani's last year might indicate that the team is refining their strategy to attract top talent.

What I find particularly interesting is how Schneider framed Tucker as a player whose skillset aligns well with the team's strategy . It's almost as if he's trying to rebrand the Blue Jays as a destination for talented players who can fit into their system. This could be an interesting narrative to watch unfold, especially given the Blue Jays' efforts to revamp their roster .

I'm thinking Kyle Tucker would be a great addition to the Blue Jays... but let's not get ahead of ourselves . I mean, they did try to sign Shohei Ohtani and it didn't exactly go well for them . But hey, at least now they can say they had some quality time with Tucker, right? Maybe they should just give him a blue jacket and hat as a gift... just kidding John Schneider, no need to return any gifts . Seriously though, it's gonna be interesting to see how things play out. The Blue Jays are definitely trying to make a splash in the free agency market .

So I'm thinking, the Blue Jays are really trying to make a move on Kyle Tucker this offseason, but it's still kinda hard to shake off that Shohei Ohtani mystery . Like, Schneider is being super careful with his words about wanting Ohtani, which was weird considering how down he was on signing him last year . But at the same time, it seems like the Blue Jays are really stoked about Tucker's visit to their PDC - and they have some solid reasons for liking him too .

I mean, what really stood out was that Schneider seemed super enthusiastic when talking about Tucker's defense and baserunning skills . It sounds like he genuinely believes Tucker would be a great fit for the team's strategy . And let's be real, recruiting Ohtani has been tough due to those Dodgers' sweet offers .

But what's interesting is how this whole thing plays out - does the Blue Jays have what it takes to sign Tucker and turn things around? Only time will tell! But for now, I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one
