The Bo Bichette case

The market for Bo Bichette, who is receiving interest at three different positions(second base, third base and shortstop), is alive and well. The young man is in demand.

Are his chances of returning to Toronto good?

The person behind the Blue Jays Today account says he texted Bob Nightengale to find out if the Blue Jays had any chances of signing Bo Bichette AND Kyle Tucker. Nightengale is a tipster who believes in Tucker’s chances in Toronto.

The tipster’s answer? It’s possible, especially considering he thinks Bichette will ask for an opt-out in his contract.

That’s an interesting angle. Can Bichette request an opt-out to have the benefits of a short-term contract, but the security of a long-term deal?

It makes sense – on paper, at least – to me.

Royals want an outfielder

The Kansas City club is currently evaluating its options. We know that the Red Sox and Angels have an outfielder to trade: could there be a possible deal with one of these clubs?

In my opinion, the Red Sox would ask for Vinnie Pasquantino…

Max Scherzer and the Giants

If there’s one name that refuses to die, it’s Max Scherzer’s with the San Francisco Giants. Ever since Tony Vitello (his former college pitching coach, with whom Scherzer has an excellent relationship) was hired as Giants manager, the rumor mill has been churning.

MadMax wants to pitch in 2026. Toronto is still a possibility, at this point.

Two surprises

According to what’s circulating around MLB right now, the Marlins and Pirates are two teams with an appetite to spend a bit over the next few weeks.

I’ll believe it when I see it, let’s say. But it would be really nice.
