Overview
- The link to Bichette comes from reporting by Will Sammon and Ken Rosenthal, who say some in Boston view him as an intriguing option if Bregman is not retained.
- The proposed alignment would keep Trevor Story at shortstop, move top prospect Marcelo Mayer to third base, and slot Bichette at second.
- Bichette, 27 and turning 28 in March, hit .311/.357/.483 with 44 doubles, 18 home runs, and 94 RBI in 139 games in 2025.
- Over the past six seasons, Bichette’s offensive production is reported as nearly matching Bregman’s by wRC+, underscoring his appeal on a multi-year track.
- No formal offers or agreements have been reported, and his preference to remain a shortstop could determine whether Boston is a realistic destination for him.
