Bo Bichette Free Agency: 2025-2026 Rumors & Updates

subscription required), the ⁤Jays “don’t ⁣appear to be strongly pursuing” the star shortstop. Ken Rosenthal‍ of The Athletic shared that same sentiment during Tuesday’s edition of Foul ⁢Territory.

“The Jays will likely stay in touch with Bichette’s representatives as free agency⁢ remains fluid and plans evolve,” ⁢Bannon wrote. “Perhaps if Bichette elects to take a shorter deal with⁣ opt-outs, similar to the contracts signed by Alex Bregman, Pete Alonso, and Cody Bellinger in recent offseasons, the Jays could make things work for ⁣a year. More likely, Toronto would⁢ have to make a notable trade, like moving‍ Anthony santander with four years left on his deal, to open room for Bichette.”

Even as there may⁤ no longer be any room for Bichette with the only franchise he has known ‍as a pro, he still has plenty of teams jockeying for his services.That group is believed to include the Phillies, Yankees, Cubs, Dodgers and Red Sox, ⁤as MLB Network insider Jon Heyman reported on⁢ Jan. 3.

Jan. 3: Phils in the mix to land Bichette?

It ‍appears the market for Bichette is widening, with MLB Network insider Jon Heyman reporting that the Phillies are also “among a number of big-market teams to have interest” in⁤ the star middle ⁣infielder.

The Phillies have trea Turner entrenched at short, with Bryson ⁢Stott currently penciled⁤ in as the club’s everyday second baseman. Stott has been productive, particularly on defense, but Bichette would‍ represent a significant upgrade at the plate for⁢ an already potent Philadelphia lineup. Bichette appeared at second base for the frist time in his big league career during the World ⁣Series and handled the position admirably, getting his bat into the lineup despite coming off a left knee injury.

Jan. 1: Yankees, Cubs, Dodgers among clubs eyeing Bichette (report)

There appear to be at least five suitors for Bichette as we enter⁢ 2026. MLB Network insider Jon Heyman writes in ⁢the New York Post (subscription required) that the Yankees, Cubs and Dodgers are all in the mix. Heyman adds that the ⁢Yanks and Cubs are fielding trade inquiries for their ‍respective second ‍basemen, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Nico Hoerner. MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reported last month that Bichette has told teams he is willing to move from shortstop to second base, so a trade involving either one of those aforementioned players could open a spot for Bichette.
