"Mack took to twitter to say, " The Red Sox are no longer involved for SS Bo Bichette unless his market changes drastically." Blue Jays fans can take that in two ways. One, they can breath a sigh of relief that the home grown star player won't end up playing for a division rival. Two, they may be concerned about what exactly Bichette's market is, and are the Blue Jays still within those parameters?"
"This all stems after a supposed zoom call between Bichette and the Red Sox went well earlier this week. There was also the analyst prediction made that Bo would go there. Former MLB player and current analyst on the MLB Network, Cliff Floyd, said at the beginning of the Winter Meetings that Bichette would sign with the Red Sox. We now know that for the time being that won't be the case, but it doesn't mean that can't change down the road."
"Bichette's "market" could mean that the Red Sox aren't willing to reach his asking price. Ahead of the Winter Meetings, The Athletic's Jim Bowden speculated that Bichette would sign a seven-year $189 million deal. If that is indeed in line with what Bichette is going to get, it feels like a relatively reasonable market deal, compared to Bichette's contemporaries. But Bo's price has fluctuated greatly over the last 12 months."
The Red Sox are no longer pursuing shortstop Bo Bichette unless his market changes drastically. A recent Zoom call between Bichette and Boston reportedly went well, and some analysts predicted a move to the Red Sox, but that pursuit has paused. Speculation about Bichette's contract value has varied widely, with projections ranging from roughly $150 million up to $300 million and a mid estimate of seven years for $189 million. Injury history and fluctuating valuations have created uncertainty about his true market. The Red Sox withdrawal may reflect unwillingness to meet current demands, though circumstances could change later.
