AL East Notes: Bichette, Yoshida, Cortes
Briefly

The Blue Jays had some largely 'exploratory' trade talks involving Bo Bichette early last offseason, with multiple reports indicating discussions about his trade availability.
Mitchell specifies that 'the Jays did indeed shop Bichette,' suggesting a more active role in exploring trade options than previously understood.
The distinction between actively trying to move Bichette and listening on trade offers could be thin, as executives discuss players as due diligence.
Given Bichette's injury-plagued year, reviving trade talks this winter may be challenging for the Blue Jays, as a premium return seems unlikely.
