The Los Angeles Dodgers are on the road to a dynasty, but other NL teams are forming their own super teams, with the Cubs most recently grabbing Alex Bregman. To make sure they stay the top dog in their league, they need to go out and get another superstar.
According to Fansided’s Chris Landers, the Dodgers will do that by signing two-time All-Star Bo Bichette. Bichette would slot in at second and brings a righty bat into a lefty-heavy lineup.
“And the more you think about it, the more signing Bichette makes a certain sense (especially if the Blue Jays prioritize Tucker instead). Los Angeles has a need to fill at second base, and they'll have one at third soon enough, with Max Muncy set to hit free agency next winter. This lineup, and this infield in particular, is getting a little long in the tooth, and it's also a little heavy on lefties — two problems that Bichette could solve with one fell swoop,” Landers wrote.
This past season, Bichette slashed.311/.357/.483/.840 with 44 doubles, 18 home runs, and 94 RBI in 139 games played. He would bring more contact into the lineup, good power, and the ability to put even more runs on the board.

They do have two teams to compete with for his services, though. The Philadelphia Phillies will be meeting with him tomorrow, and after losing Bregman, the Boston Red Sox need to grab a superstar soon, or face the fury of their fanbase.
If the Dodgers want to stay the enemy of the MLB, they need to get Bichette, and they need to get him now.
