Dodgers fans laugh as Mets, Blue Jays fans rip each other apart over Kyle Tucker miss

The Mets and Blue Jays have taken so many beatings at the hands of the Dodgers that it's hard not to feel a little bad for them sometimes. The Mets lost the 2024 NLCS to the Dodgers, and lost Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Edwin Díaz, and Kyle Tucker. The Blue Jays lost the 2025 World Series to the Dodgers despite taking them all the way to the brink, and lost Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki, and now Tucker.

Both fanbases thought that they had a real chance to land Tucker. They weren't thinking about the Dodgers as a possibility at all, really. The Mets had their $50 million a year offer, and the Blue Jays had their willingness to give him a long-term deal. Maybe this would finally be the moment one of them won.

And then neither of them did. And they've been tearing each other apart about it ever since.

Far be it from us to tell other fandoms how to cope, but there's something particularly delightful about these two contingents pointing fingers at each other in a fruitless exercise of trying to figure out who the bigger losers are.

Newsflash, guys. You're all losers. By definition.

Still, the Mets ultimately came out the winners of this totally useless argument when they turned around and signed Bo Bichette to a three-year, $126 million deal out of nowhere. No one thought the Mets were in on him, and they managed to best a hated division rival (the Phillies were positive that they had Bichette before he turned tail) and Bichette's former team, the team they'd spent days beefing with on Twitter.

Meanwhile, Dodgers fans have just been able to sit back and laugh about it. While already the far and away favorites to win the 2026 World Series, getting Tucker just increased LA's threat level exponentially. They made a mockery of other, smaller budget teams' admittedly admirable efforts to improve their own rosters but reaffirming that will stop at nothing to turn a repeat into three-, four-, and so on.

Blue Jays fans can't say that their team hasn't done anything this offseason either. Dylan Cease, Cody Ponce, and Kazuma Okamoto were all nice additions. If they'd rather whine about the one guy who escaped them, then that's their prerogative. Dodgers fans say keep it coming; it just gives us more to laugh about.
