Phillies Step Up Pursuit of Bo Bichette With Meeting Planned

Philadelphia targets a right-handed contact bat that could reshape its infield alignment.

Overview

  • The Phillies have a meeting set with Bo Bichette and are viewed as a serious suitor, according to MLB.com.
  • Bichette has shown openness to moving off shortstop, creating a potential pairing with Trea Turner on the left side.
  • Citizens Bank Park profiles as a power boost for Bichette, who logged 181 hits in 2025 and ranked among MLB’s batting average leaders.
  • Adding Bichette would prompt a decision on Bryce Harper’s defensive role, with the possibility of a return to the outfield noted in recent reporting.
  • Newsweek relayed a Sportsnaut prediction that Alec Bohm could be traded to make room for Bichette, which remains speculative.
