"Interest in free agent infielder Bo Bichette has mostly been limited to a pair of AL East teams this offseason. Toronto is known to be open to a reunion, while Boston has met with the two-time All-Star over Zoom. Three teams are now joining the Blue Jays and Red Sox in the race for Bichette's services, as Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that the Cubs, Yankees, and Dodgers have checked in on him."
"The Yankees have been primarily connected to pitchers and outfielders in free agency, but a notable internal development could adjust that approach. Reports emerged in mid-December that the team was listening to offers on infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. With the front office potentially less than enthused about extending Chisholm, who will be a free agent in 2027, flipping him now could make sense. Chisholm's departure would open up a spot at second base, a position Bichette has said he'd be willing to play."
Bo Bichette remains a sought-after free agent with interest from Toronto, Boston, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles. Toronto is open to a reunion and Boston already met with Bichette over Zoom. The Yankees lack a settled shortstop after Anthony Volpe's rough season and upcoming labrum surgery, leaving José Caballero and Amed Rosario to cover while prospect George Lombard Jr. develops. Bichette could provide immediate middle-infield help and later shift to second or third. New York has considered trading Jazz Chisholm Jr. to create a second-base opening. The Cubs face similar choices if Nico Hoerner is moved amid trade interest.
