The New York Mets are looking like serious contenders in the National League. However, they will face a big decision this offseason.

Spotrac puts his market value at 12 years, $539 million. ESPN's Jeff Passan also recently had Tucker in his rarefied air of players who could sign $500 million contracts. And if the Cubs are the ones making that happen, it's pretty unlikely they'll then turn around and trade for the roughly quarter of a billion dollars left on Devers' deal.

One of the most fascinating stories to follow in the MLB this season has been the growing discord between the Boston Red Sox and their star slugger Rafael Devers, who signed a 10-year, $313.5 million contract extension with Boston back in January 2023.
