Overview
- The Boston Globe reports Boston has identified Bo Bichette and Alex Bregman as primary targets, with Ketel Marte and Isaac Paredes discussed as trade alternatives.
- Toronto remains engaged on a Bichette reunion, with owner Edward Rogers publicly expressing hope even as baseball operations lead the decision.
- Evan Petzold reports the active Bregman suitors are the Blue Jays, Red Sox, Cubs and Diamondbacks, while the Tigers are described as lukewarm and not currently in the sweepstakes.
- Kyle Tucker remains unsigned while seeking a deal reportedly north of $400 million, and multiple reports suggest a Tucker signing could limit Toronto’s ability to retain Bichette.
- With outcomes unresolved, Toronto has added shortstop depth in Rodolfo Castro and is evaluating fallback routes as the infield market slows around Brendan Donovan’s trade status and media proposals, including a speculative Trea Turner trade.
