Overview
- Jon Heyman reports that the Yankees, Dodgers and Cubs have checked in on free agent Bo Bichette, expanding a market previously centered on the Blue Jays and Red Sox.
- The Yankees are fielding trade inquiries on Jazz Chisholm Jr., a move that could open second base for Bichette, with Anthony Volpe expected to start 2026 on the injured list after shoulder surgery.
- The Cubs are listening on Nico Hoerner per reports, signaling a willingness to reshape their infield if a path to adding Bichette emerges.
- Clubs are evaluating Bichette at second or third base as his shortstop defense has declined, and he briefly handled second base for Toronto in the postseason.
- Toronto’s Ross Atkins says the Blue Jays remain in Bichette’s market, while analysts peg his next contract in roughly the $150 million range.
