"the Phillies have scheduled a meeting with the free agent infielder and his representatives at Vayner Sports that will take place within the next few days. Philadelphia's interest "is legitimate," per the report - borne out of Bichette's willingness to move off of shortstop and a protracted stare-down between the Phils and free agent catcher J.T. Realmuto, who has yet to sign."
"Bichette's summer was something to behold. He got out to a decent but fairly pedestrian start before heating up in May and catching absolute fire midsummer. From July 6 through season's end, Bichette went supernova with a .381/.437/.591 slash in 238 plate appearances. He homered seven times, piled up an outrageous 24 doubles, walked at an 8.8% clip and fanned in only 11.3% of his plate appearances. Push back to mid-June, and Bichette closed out his season with 330 plate appearances of .350/.395/.538 production."
The Phillies have scheduled a meeting with free agent infielder Bo Bichette and his Vayner Sports representatives, signaling genuine interest. Bichette has expressed willingness to move off shortstop, a factor that could effectively end J.T. Realmuto's time in Philadelphia and trigger a third-base trade. At 27, Bichette rebounded in 2025, slashing .311/.357/.483 with 18 home runs and recording career-best walk and strikeout rates in a full season. He delivered an extraordinary midsummer surge, producing .381/.437/.591 from July 6 through the season's end. Bichette suffered a sprained PCL on Sept. 6 and spent playoff early rounds rehabbing before being cleared for later return.
