Second base: What if the Yankees signed Bo Bichette?

Just yesterday (Wednesday), we learned that Bo Bichette was letting teams interested in acquiring his services know that he was open to moving to second base, the position he played for the first time in his major league career at this year's World Series. In fact, he didn't commit an error in 32 innings of work at the number-four position.

We suspected it, but now it's confirmed. And it means that other teams are likely to get in on the act, including the New York Yankees.

Indeed, with Bombardiers general manager Brian Cashman stating loud and clear that he is open-minded about a potential trade for Jazz Chisholm Jr., perhaps Little Doe could emerge as the New York organization's long-term second-cushion option.

While a deal involving Chisholm's services doesn't make sense in the Bronx, he who was simply excellent in his first full year with the club in 2025, we know that New York needs more right-handed hitters, especially at the top of the offensive role, which Bichette can bring.

A trade, however, makes no sense for the Yankees. https://t.co/C63JWMUKkT

Bichette posted a .311 batting average with 18 home runs and 94 RBIs in 628 at-bats for the Toronto Blue Jays last season.

The 27-year-old missed most of the club's playoffs due to a sprained ACL in his knee, but returned during the World Series, recording eight hits, including a three-run homer in his team's Game 7 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

If the Yankees are comfortable with how Bichette will perform at second base, he could become an interesting option, dealing the Blue Jays a blow in the process.
