Blue Jays outfielder Myles Straw tried to recruit Kyle Tucker to Toronto in the comment section of a baby announcement photo on Instagram.
Recently Straw posted a heartfelt message to Blue Jays fans on social media thanking them for their support describing it as the "coolest year of his life."
This time Straw took a unique approach to recruiting his former Astros teammate Kyle Tucker in free agency.
After Tucker and his wife announced that they were expecting their first child in an Instagram post, Straw commented for the left-handed slugger to join the Blue Jays and offered to help babysit.
