Overview

  • Bichette is widely projected for an eight-year deal worth about $212 million, with The Athletic’s valuation driving the latest forecasts.
  • Recent analyses link the Giants, Braves, Mets and Tigers as leading potential destinations, with San Francisco highlighted as a strong fit at second base.
  • Guerrero Jr. said he wants to continue playing with Bichette, adding public pressure to Toronto’s decision on a long-term offer.
  • Bichette boosted his market with a .311/.357/.483 season and a three-run homer in World Series Game 7 after returning from a late-season knee sprain.
  • Teams are weighing defensive metrics and his World Series shift from shortstop to second base, factors that could shape role, price and where he ultimately signs.
