Important development in the Bo Bichette file.

The outfielder, who is currently a free agent, will meet with the Phillies (via videoconference) in the next few days. This is what Matt Gelb (The Athletic) reported in the last few minutes.

We didn't think the Phillies would be a destination for Bichette, but the fact that J.T. Realmuto has yet to sign may open other doors in Pennsylvania for him to improve offensively.

This will clearly help boost his market, which is a good thing for him.

We know that several big American markets are named when it comes to Bichette, who is open to playing on the second cushion. Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York are all potential cities for him.

In fact, the Yankees are reportedly trying to put pressure on Cody Bellinger by saying that Bo Bichette is an increasingly serious target down the road.

The Blue Jays have been mentioned less and less in recent days. With Kazuma Okamoto in town, the need for an infielder has diminished.

And if Bichette really is asking for $300 million, as Jon Heyman suggests, he's going to be turned down by several clubs.

Let's face it: Bichette is probably asking for so much so that the “middle ground” he'll find with a club is higher than if he asked for something more reasonable. And that's if he signs long-term, of course.

But clearly, his market is evolving. Will he sign in January?
