Free Agency Idea Sees Dodgers Replace Mookie Betts With $182M Blue Jays All-Star<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been playing six-time Gold Glove outfielder Mookie Betts at shortstop.<\/p>\n

\"Dodgers'<\/p>\n

While he has done fine, the Dodgers may want to reassess their outfield in the offseason.<\/p>\n

Michael Conforto has not been good this year, and Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez’s performance recently led to some time on the bench.<\/p>\n

However, if Betts moved back to the outfield, the Dodgers would need a new face at shortstop. FanSided’s Christopher Kline suggested the Dodgers sign Bo Bichette from the Toronto Blue Jays.<\/p>\n

“It shouldn’t be hard to move Betts to left field and install Bichette at shortstop full-time, where he can share the infield with the likes of Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy and Hyeseong Kim,” wrote Kline.<\/p>\n

“Los Angeles may ultimately balk at Bichette’s asking price – even the Dodgers need to be smart with their spending – but there isn’t a more desirable destination in MLB.<\/em><\/p>\n

If the Dodgers decide to throw their hat in the ring, it will be difficult for Bichette to say no. It’s the clearest path to World Series contention.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Bichette is projected to earn an eight-year, $182 million deal in free agency. He is a two-time All-Star and is having a phenomenal year after his down year last year. Bichette is slashing .310\/.354\/.482 with 18 home runs.<\/p>\n

He entered Wednesday leading all of baseball in hits and doubles.<\/p>\n

He has already led the American League in hits twice. Bichette could take over as the everyday shortstop.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers could then use Kim and Edman at second base, with the other serving as a utility player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
