Bo Bichette linked to three new contenders in free agency

Bo Bichette has some of Major League Baseball’s elite knocking on his door.

Three new teams have checked in on the former All-Star shortstop Bichette in free agency, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported this week. They are the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs.

All three teams are obviously among the cream of the crop in MLB. The Dodgers are the reigning back-to-back champions, the Yankees made it to the World Series in 2024, and the Cubs were a 92-win team last season that narrowly lost in the NLDS.

Bichette, the 27-year-old righty hitter, had a superb year in 2025 for the Toronto Blue Jays, batting .311 with 18 home runs and 94 RBI over 139 games played. We also recently heard that Bichette was willing to make a major positional change for any interested suitors.

Bo Bichette still may return to the Toronto Blue Jays

Up to this point, it had seemed like Bichette was most likely to return to the Blue Jays, the team he has spent his entire MLB career with since its inception in 2019, on a new deal. But now it looks like Toronto has some other big priorities in free agency ahead of Bichette’s situation.

Several weeks ago, Bichette was also linked to a different Blue Jays rival on the free agent market. Now it appears that Bichette’s list of outside suitors has expanded even further to include some of the game’s top teams.
