Will they try to bring Blue Jays SS Bo Bichette to Hollywood?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0are\u00a0one win away\u00a0from returning to the World Series for the first time since winning it all in 2020. But whenever their postseason run is complete, questions about the 2025 roster will begin getting asked. Could they target Bo Bichette from the\u00a0Toronto Blue Jays\u00a0to fill their perceived hole at shortstop?<\/p>\n<p>Bleacher Report\u2019s Zachary D. Rymer discussed\u00a0the \u201cmost likely trade\u201d every MLB team will make this winter. He thinks Bichette has the highest probability of being traded by Toronto before Opening Day next March.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is another case where no speculation is necessary, and that is again thanks to reporting\u00a0from\u00a0Bob Nightengale\u00a0of\u00a0USA Today,\u201d Rymer said. \u201cHe wrote in August that the Blue Jays are \u2018expected to entertain trade offers\u2019 for Bo Bichette, who \u2018has no plans\u2019 to stay as a free agent after the 2025 season. Indeed, he may have signaled as much by only selling out his arbitration years with his\u00a0current contract.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>The Dodgers Were a Bo Bichette Landing Spot During the Summer<\/h2>\n<p>Bichette struggled through a tough 2024 with the Blue Jays. He\u00a0landed on the injured list\u00a0multiple times and appeared in only 81 games \u2013 his lowest number since becoming the Blue Jays\u2019 starting shortstop in 2021. The 26-year-old posted a .225\/.277\/.322 line with four home runs, 16 doubles, 31 RBI and 29 runs scored in 336 plate appearances.<\/p>\n<p>Even with those rough numbers, Bichette brings a track record of above-average offense at shortstop thanks to his performance between 2021 and 2023. He was a two-time All-Star while slashing .298\/.339\/.476 across 1,988 plate appearances. Bichette appeared in at least 135 games each season while averaging 26 homers with 37 doubles, 96 RBI and 101 runs scored.<\/p>\n<p>Next year is his final campaign under a three-year, $33.6 million contract,\u00a0per Spotrac.\u00a0He\u2019ll earn $17.5 million in 2025 before hitting free agency next winter.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles dealt with issues filling shortstop throughout the regular season. They were viewed as a Bichette landing spot before the trade deadline. It got to the point where hypothetical trades that\u2019d send the shortstop to Hollywood were consistently being proposed.<\/p>\n<p>Everything will depend on the Dodgers\u2019 offseason priorities once the playoffs conclude. However, Bichette\u2019s past performance and contract situation make him an obvious target.<\/p>\n<h2>Could Offloading Bo Bichette Make Room for Blue Jays to Pursue Juan Soto?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-content entry-content\">\n<p>Toronto entered 2024 with hopes of reaching the postseason for the third straight year. They\u00a0ended up in the American League East basement\u00a0with a disappointing 74-88 record. According to what an unidentified player\u00a0told NJ.com\u2019s Randy Miller\u00a0on October 9, they\u2019re entering the winter \u201cdesperate to contend again next season and willing to spend big-big money in the offseason to improve their roster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Part of that plan could include\u00a0making an \u201castronomical offer\u201d\u00a0to outfielder Juan Soto in free agency. It seems like they\u2019ll be fighting an uphill battle with the\u00a0New York Yankees\u00a0and the\u00a0New York Mets. However, they\u2019ve proven to be willing to drop an insane amount of money for a player they covet.<\/p>\n<p>Last winter, Toronto finished just behind the Dodgers in the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes. They him the same $700 million he eventually signed for in LA. Trading away Bichette would only save them about $18 million. Every little bit will help \u2014 the bidding for Soto could easily reach $600 million.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dodgers could be in the market for a shortstop this winter.
