"The infielder is one of the most attractive free agents on the market as a bat-first shortstop with multiple All-Star appearances under his belt who will only be 28 years old next year, but he's not gotten much attention in the rumor mill this winter as players like Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, and Cody Bellinger have absorbed most of the offseason attention."
"Perhaps that lack of buzz has been due to a widespread assumption that Bichette, who has long spoken about his desire to stay in Toronto for his entire career, was sure to remain with the Blue Jays going forward. That's an illusion that's been shattered by the Jays' addition of Kazuma Okamoto and their reportedly increased aggression in the market for Tucker, however. If the Blue Jays appear to be pivoting towards other stars, where does that leave Bichette?"
Bo Bichette enters free agency as a highly attractive, bat-first shortstop with multiple All-Star selections who will turn 28 next year. He has received surprisingly little offseason attention as bigger-name free agents dominated the rumor mill. Widespread assumptions that he would remain with the Blue Jays have been challenged by Toronto adding Kazuma Okamoto and pursuing other stars like Kyle Tucker. The Boston Red Sox represent a logical landing spot given their infield mix and need for a right-handed power bat; Bichette has indicated willingness to move off shortstop going into 2026.
