The market for Bo Bichette continues to heat up, and as things stand, multiple teams are said to be interested.
Both the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs are in the mix for Bichette, according to the latest reports.
The Yankees' offseason plan has revolved around Cody Bellinger, and that remains the priority. Still, the Yankees need more beyond that and if talks with Bellinger change, New York has shown it is more than willing to move on.
Chicago’s case is even more interesting. The Cubs have reached a point where they simply have to do more. They play in a brutal NL Central, have money, and lack the type of superstar player that Cubs fans deserve.
That’s why Robert Murray of FanSided connected both teams to Bichette, adding why they both make sense.
“The Yankees’ priority is Cody Bellinger, and Bichette could be a fallback if they don’t end up bringing Bellinger back. The Cubs, meanwhile, absolutely need another star-level player. There’s no reason why they should not be acting like a big-market team, and adding Bichette immediately adds to their chances in the NL Central (and, really, the National League as a whole),” he wrote.
With Bichette’s market heating up, it’s unsurprising to see that both Chicago and New York are in the middle of it.
Both teams need a lot more heading into the spring and Bichette would be just that.
