"Bichette was wearing blue during the World Series - not Dodger Blue, but baby blue. He hit a go-ahead three-run bomb early on during Game 7 of the World Series off Shohei Ohtani, giving Toronto the lead. He battled a knee problem during the closing stages of the season, though Bichette managed to get healthy in time for the Fall Classic. Now, months into the offseason, Bichette is still on the open market."
"Bichette looked solid at second base during the World Series, and while it was a small, seven-game sample size, it was enough to convince teams that he can handle the position," Feinsand wrote. "Far more clubs are looking for help at second base than shortstop, so Bichette's willingness to switch positions should bring more teams into play for his services. "The Blue Jays could move Andrés Giménez to shortstop and play Bichette at second base if he returns, while the Dodgers, Red Sox, Giants, Mariners, and Rangers are also potential fits."
Bo Bichette remains a free agent months into the offseason after hitting a pivotal three-run home run in Game 7 of the World Series and recovering from a late-season knee issue. He showed the ability to handle second base during the Series, increasing his marketability to clubs seeking help at that position. Several teams, including the Dodgers, Red Sox, Giants, Mariners and Rangers, are potential fits. The Dodgers have an aging infield and would gain offense and defense by acquiring Bichette, but his preference for a long-term contract conflicts with the Dodgers' offseason strategy.
