Yankees predicted to be pushed into trading for $330 million two-time MVP, eight-time All-Star if Blue Jays land Kyle Tucker originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.<\/em><\/p>\n

The New York Yankees’ loss to the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS was already devastating enough, but another blow may be coming. With the Jays being arguably the favorite for the top free agent on the market in Kyle Tucker, the Yankees will have to make an equally large move.<\/p>\n

For Fansided\u2019s Jake Elman, that move would be trading for the Philadelphia Phillies’ two-time MVP Bryce Harper.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Tucker signs with the Blue Jays, the next domino to fall should be the Yankees aggressively fighting fire with fire and trading for Harper. That’s especially true as the perennial All-Star’s relationship with Philadelphia appears to be souring to some degree\u2026The Yankees are unlikely to bring veteran first baseman Paul Goldschmidt back for 2026\u2026Frazier suggested in October that the Yankees make Rice the centerpiece of a potential Harper trade,\u201d Elman wrote.<\/p>\n

This past season, Harper finished slashing .261\/.357\/.487\/.844 with 32 doubles, 27 home runs, and 75 RBI in 132 games played. Those numbers should be pumped up, though, if he were to join New York, as he could take advantage of the Short Porch as a lefty.<\/p>\n

While Harper does have a no-trade clause in his contract, combining the facts that his relationship with Philly is fading, he\u2019d be going to a team that made the World Series in 2024, and it\u2019s the Yankees, he might be willing to waive that clause.<\/p>\n

Getting Ben Rice as a centerpiece in the deal also works in Philly\u2019s favor. They get a man who can replace Harper at first, or be JT Realmuto\u2019s successor at catcher. Hopefully, the two teams get to talking, especially if Toronto does land their white whale in Tucker.<\/p>\n
