Overview
- Bichette has privately signaled immediate interest in playing in New York, according to a Forbes report citing the Toronto Sun.
- Newsweek relays Jon Heyman’s projection that Bichette could land a seven-year, $182 million contract, with some teams viewing him more as a third or second baseman.
- Toronto is widely regarded as the frontrunner to retain Bichette, and there have been no reported offers or agreements.
- The Yankees are seen as a plausible fit given Anthony Volpe’s shoulder surgery and the chance to reassess shortstop.
- The Mets appear less likely as president of baseball operations David Stearns has emphasized run prevention.
