"Bo Bichette has been the talk of the town even before his free agency began in the winter. A bat-first player, Bichette and the likes of numerous other high-ranking position players, such as Kyle Tucker and Alex Bregman, remain without a contract, with spring training just over a month away. It's still in the Blue Jays ' best interest to bring the 27-year-old infielder back to the team, given his contributions in the 2025 playoffs and status as one of the faces of the franchise. During the Okamoto press conference earlier today, general manager Ross Atkins was asked about future moves this winter, and fans came away with the impression that he might not be done on the free agent front."
"The Boston Red Sox may not have signed any big-name free agents this winter, but they have been busy bringing new faces through trades. So far, they've added Jake Bennett, Willson Contreras, Sonny Gray, and Johan Oviedo; these moves consequently boosted the team's overall roster by solidifying the depth chart while bringing a well-known veteran power bat."
"The Red Sox most likely won't stop at these moves or rely solely on trades to complete their 2026 roster. They are currently pursuing Bichette, Alex Bregman and Eugenio Suárez, indicating that the team is prioritizing its offence at this stage of the offseason. Even after trading its all-star infielder, Rafael Devers, to the San Francisco Giants, Boston's offence never suffered with contributions from hitters like Roman Anthony, Bregman, and Ceddanne Raffaela. While bringing both Bregman and Bichette may not be the likeliest outcome for the Red Sox, signing Bichette would put their offence at the top of the league."
Bo Bichette remains unsigned entering spring training as a high-profile free agent and bat-first infielder. The Blue Jays have strong reasons to re-sign him based on his 2025 playoff contributions and franchise status. General manager Ross Atkins indicated that winter roster moves may continue, leaving offseason activity open-ended. Multiple rival teams pursue top position players, increasing competition for Bichette. The Boston Red Sox have added notable players via trades and are targeting Bichette along with Alex Bregman and Eugenio Suárez. Signing Bichette would significantly boost Boston's offense and amplify AL East competition amid a youth movement in Boston's core.
