""Bichette is projected by most to get a contract between 7-8 years worth upwards of $200 million," Bradford noted. "His age (he will be 28 on March 5) helps counter any hesitancy brought upon by having a qualifying offer attached." Bichette would fit the bill for Boston when it comes to his profile as a impact bat from the right side of the plate - with the 27-year-old slugger batting .311 with 18 home runs and 94 RBI in 139 games for Toronto in 2025."
"Even though Bichette has primarily played shortstop with Toronto, his lackluster defensive metrics could prompt him to switch to either second or third base moving forward - which could make him a natural fit for Boston at either spot. If Bregman signs elsewhere, Bichette and Marcelo Mayer could take over the vacant spots at second and third base, respectively. As Bradford noted, Bichette has had plenty of success at Fenway Park over the years - batting .327 and posting a .907 OPS"
Boston's ability to re-sign Alex Bregman remains unresolved this offseason. The Red Sox are expressing interest in Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette as an alternative. Bichette is projected to command a 7-8 year deal worth upwards of $200 million and will turn 28 in March. He hit .311 with 18 home runs and 94 RBI in 139 games in 2025. Defensive metrics at shortstop are underwhelming, suggesting a shift to second or third base is possible. If Bregman signs elsewhere, Bichette and Marcelo Mayer could man second and third. Bichette has strong Fenway numbers and prior mentorship ties to Boston personnel.
