Following earlier reports of interest from teams like the Dodgers and Red Sox, new updates indicate the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Chicago Cubs have checked in on free-agent infielder Bo Bichette. The former Blue Jays star, open to second base, could reshape infields amid a heating market.
New York Post's Jon Heyman reports that the Yankees, Dodgers, and Cubs have inquired about Bo Bichette, expanding on prior interest primarily from the Blue Jays and Red Sox. The two-time All-Star, who posted a strong 2025 season (.311 average, 3.5 bWAR) despite a late knee injury, excelled offensively in the World Series (.348) while shifting to second base.
For the Yankees, eliminated by Toronto in the 2025 ALDS, Bichette represents an infield upgrade over Anthony Volpe (1.6 bWAR). They are fielding calls on Jazz Chisholm Jr. and offered Cody Bellinger a deal. The Cubs are exploring trades involving Nico Hoerner.
Projections peg Bichette for an eight-year, $208 million contract ($26 million AAV). As his market develops, it could impact AL East and NL dynamics.
