Steve Cohen Fires Up Twitter Post Ahead of Kyle Tucker's Decision, Leaves Fans on Edge
Mets owner Steve Cohen is stirring up excitement among baseball fans by posting a cryptic message on social media, which appears to hint at the impending decision regarding free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker. Cohen used the iconic papal conclave analogy, where white smoke signals a new pope's election, to convey his eagerness for Tucker's future plans.
However, in an effort to clear up any confusion, Cohen later joked that he was simply waiting for a "decision" and had no insider knowledge about Tucker's thoughts on joining the Mets. Nevertheless, fans remain invested in Tucker's saga as he weighs offers from the Blue Jays, Dodgers, and his current suitors.
The allure of Tucker lies in his impressive stats during his lone season with the Cubs. He made the National League All-Star team and smashed 22 home runs while boasting an .841 OPS over 136 games. This exceptional performance could have significant implications for teams looking to bolster their rosters.
In a recent development, the Mets reportedly offered Tucker a $50 million-per-season contract, but the Blue Jays are said to be pushing for a longer deal. As negotiations continue, fans can't help but wonder if Tucker will ultimately join the Amazin's.

. The guy is on fire! That 22 homers and .841 OPS are insane numbers 
. I think Steve Cohen knows how to make a splash with his social media posts, but at the end of the day, it's all about what's best for Tucker, right? 
. A $50 million-per-season contract is pretty steep, though - will it be enough to lure him to Citi Field? 
. It’s crazy how much excitement he’s generated on Twitter with that papal conclave analogy. Anyway, I think the Blue Jays are being a bit sneaky trying to push for a longer deal 
. We'll have to see how this all plays out...
he's got so much on his plate with all these offers 
$50 million per season is crazy! 
I mean, whoever gets him is gonna have an amazing season for sure 
lets keep our fingers crossed for whatever he chooses 
The way Steve Cohen is hyping up his Twitter post, it feels like he's trying to drum up some drama before the announcement 
Meanwhile, we're stuck in limbo with teams throwing money at him and no clear direction for our favorite CF 
The Blue Jays are being stubborn as usual, refusing to back down from their offer 
Whatever happens, I'm here for the entertainment value alone 
. 22 homers and all star in one season? that's crazy! $50 million per year is a lot, but if he joins the Mets, it'll be worth it to watch him play 
. gotta see what he decides tho... his stats are insane 
I mean, who needs white smoke when you've got papal conclave vibes? 
Anywayz, I think the Blue Jays are getting a little salty about not offering him enough cash. 50 million per season is a serious investment! 
. This whole thing just feels like hype to me. Like, come on Steve Cohen, you're trying too hard to get us excited with that "white smoke" nonsense 
. And let's be real, Kyle Tucker is a great player and all, but 50 million bucks per season? That's just crazy talk
