<\/p>\n

So, December 31st, I was cruising through the offseason fun when I stumbled upon an article by Nick Prasad over at\u00a0Last Word on Sports<\/em>. His big idea? Bo Bichette to the Yankees. You remember, right?<\/p>\n

The thought had me laughing so hard I had to write about it on\u00a0BYB<\/i>. In my piece titled\u00a0BO BICHETTE TO THE YANKEES? COME ON, MAN!<\/b>, I couldn\u2019t help but poke fun at the whole thing.<\/p>\n

I wrote,\u00a0\u201cNick Prasad over at Last Word on Sports decided to shake up the offseason boredom with a blockbuster idea that has the Yankees trading for\u2014wait for it\u2014Bo Bichette. Now, don\u2019t get me wrong, I love a good hot stove debate, but this one? It\u2019s like something cooked up after three espressos and a nap in the Trade Machine.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Prasad\u2019s pitch? He suggested that Bichette would be a great investment for the Yankees\u2019 infield and lineup, assuming he stays healthy. The proposed trade included key Yankees like Anthony Volpe or Oswaldo Cabrera, along with a prospect. My reaction?\u00a0\u201cOh, Nick. God love ya.<\/i><\/b>\u201c<\/i>\u00a0I laughed it off and moved on, like many of you probably did too.<\/p>\n

But then, Bob Nightengale of\u00a0USA Today<\/em>\u00a0comes in with a new nugget, and suddenly, things are starting to make a bit more sense. According to Nightengale, Bo Bichette has \u201cno real interest\u201d in re-signing with the Toronto Blue Jays, at least according to a source. This revelation has me scratching my head, thinking maybe Prasad wasn\u2019t as out there as I initially thought.<\/p>\n

Bichette is in the final year of his contract and seems poised to test free agency after the 2025 season. After a somewhat rough 2022 where he posted career-low stats, he bounced back in 2023 with a .306\/.339\/.475 line, hitting 20 home runs and 20 doubles. Meanwhile, it looks like the Blue Jays might be focusing their efforts on locking up Vladimir Guerrero Jr. instead of Bichette.<\/p>\n

Now, does this mean Bichette is destined for pinstripes? Who knows! But it\u2019s certainly a lot more fun to entertain the idea now that we know Bichette might be looking for a new home soon. Fantasy managers, take note: Bichette in a contract year could be just the ticket you need.<\/p>\n

As for us Yankees fans? Whether he ends up in New York or not, the drama is just too good to ignore. Maybe Prasad wasn\u2019t so crazy after all.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s keep those trade rumors coming\u2014because what\u2019s the offseason without a little wild speculation?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
