They had the Yankees acquiring Tucker in a four-player deal.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed deal would be a blockbuster and one that makes sense for both teams. The Yankees would acquire Tucker who could perfectly replace Soto in the outfield, while his bat would fit in nicely. Houston, meanwhile, gets a starting pitcher, a first baseman, and the Yankees\u2019\u00a0fourth-ranked prospect.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker is entering the\u00a0final year of his club control. The outfielder battled injuries in 2024 as he played in just\u00a078 games hitting .289 with 23 home runs and 49 RBIs.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_2_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-2 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<p>In return, New York would trade the reigning Rookie of the Year, Luis Gil. Gil has become expendable after the Yankees signed Max Fried to an eight-year deal. The\u00a0starter went 15-7 with a 3.50 ERA in 29 starts.<\/p>\n<p>Rice, meanwhile, could be the Yankees\u2019 starting first baseman in 2025 if New York doesn\u2019t sign anyone. However, Houston has a need at first base and Rice\u00a0still has two more years of pre-arb. Rice\u00a0hit .171 with 7 home runs and 23 RBIs in 50 games with the Yankees in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Arias, meanwhile, is an infield prospect who signed as an International free agent with the Yankees in 2022.\u00a0He\u2019s 20-years-old and played in A-Ball in 2024.<\/p>\n<h2>Insider: Yankees\u2019 Offer for Tucker Isn\u2019t Good<\/h2>\n<p>New York\u00a0has been involved in trade discussions\u00a0for Tucker, but according to one MLB insider, the team\u2019s offer isn\u2019t good.<\/p>\n<p>Randy Miller of NJ.com reported on December 12 that the Yankees\u2019 offer to the Astros for Tucker isn\u2019t even close to what Houston wants.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_4_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-4 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<p>\u201cAccording to the person, who asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the talks, the Astros are demanding a big return loaded with quality MLB-ready pieces, but the Yankees have offered prospects, none ranked among their top 30 in MLB Pipeline\u2019s top 30,\u201d Miller wrote in his\u00a0article.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HJUXRJ2ZUNHC3PLGRZHKYHADFA\" class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\">\u201cThe Astros want the Yankees to start a package with right-hander Luis Gil, the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year. \u2018I talked to someone with the Astros\u2019 front office and was told the Yankees didn\u2019t offer anything the Astros wanted,\u2019 the person said. \u2018Nothing. They think the Yankees have offered crap,&#8217;\u201d Miller wrote.<\/p>\n<p>According to Miller, the\u00a0Chicago Cubs\u00a0have the best offer on the table for Tucker. However, he writes Houston wants Gil and a top prospect which could be Arias, so the MLB Network offer isn\u2019t far off from what the Astros actually want.<\/p>\n<h2>New York May Turn to Dominguez in the Outfield<\/h2>\n<p>If the Yankees don\u2019t make a move for an outfielder, the team could turn to top prospect\u00a0Jasson Dominguez\u00a0in the outfield.<\/p>\n<p>New York will move\u00a0Aaron Judge\u00a0back to right field, and Yankees GM Brian Cashman says the team could have Dominguez as its starting center fielder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt makes sense,\u201d Cashman\u00a0said. \u201cWe\u2019re not afraid to run him out in center like we\u2019ve done but it makes sense to have him over in right because it gives a lane for Jasson that we obviously believe there\u2019s a very high ceiling now and he\u2019s healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dominguez signed with the Yankees as an international free agent in 2019. In 2024,\u00a0he appeared in 18 games hitting .179 with 2 home runs and 4 RBIs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proposed deal sends Kyle Tucker to Yankees.
