The Houston Astros are reportedly taking calls on one of the top outfielders in the Bigs.

According to several outlets, Stros All-Star Kyle Tucker could be on the move in the near future as those who came up short in the Juan Soto sweepstakes look to add another strong bat. And per the MLB Network's Jon Heyman, two teams in particular are ones to watch.

"Cubs and Yankees are among potential fits for Kyle Tucker if the Astros seriously entertain moving the star OF," the insider shared to X on Tuesday.

Fans reacted to the Gold Glove rightfielder potentially hitting the market online.

"This sets up the possibility of Steve Cohen doing the funniest thing a year from now," a user said.

"Tucker's not being moved. But with that being said I would do dirty things for him in pinstripes," a New Yorker replied.

"Please baseball gods," a fan pleaded.

"Make it happen yesterday," another called for.

"any world where he's a yankee is a complete failure by the astros organization," a Texan admitted.

"I won't give a single [expletive] about Soto if we get this done please Brian Cashman im on my knees," another person begged.

"This would be a dream scenario if the Yankees could trade for Tucker...don't think it is likely but it would be an absolute perfect fit."

Any team that makes the move for Tucker would have a year to potentially sell him on playing for their club long-term.

The former No. 5 pick is as consistent as they come and gives you great production at the plate, along with top end defense and the ability to make some noise on the basepaths.

The Astros have some serious decisions to make regarding players like Framber Valdez and Alex Bregman, and Kyle Tucker is a piece almost any franchise would want on its roster.
