After a 2025 season in which they missed the playoffs and posted a record of 76 wins against 86 losses, the Atlanta Braves need to find ways to rebuild a squad that was a contender for top honors not so long ago.
And Bo Bichette may be the key. Indeed, while Georgia officials want to get their hands on pitchers this winter, they've also been linked to Little Doe, according to MLB.com's Jon Morosi.
If they're going to make a move, it would probably be for a shortstop who can play every day. It could be Bo Bichette. What if it was former Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos who signed Bichette to play shortstop in Atlanta? Let's keep that thought in mind.
When Morosi tells us to keep this possibility in mind, it means there's something in the works. Maybe it won't materialize, but there's no smoke without fire.

Bichette has played Major League Baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays in recent years, helping them reach the World Series last season. The 27-year-old finished the 2025 regular season with 18 home runs and 94 runs batted in, while maintaining a .311 batting average.
That's why the Braves aren't alone in their pursuit. The Blue Jays themselves want to bring him back into their ranks, even if a deal doesn't seem close. The Boston Red Sox are also part of the derby, to name but a few.
In the case of the Blue Jays, although rumour has it that they could get their hands on both Bichette and all-star outfielder Kyle Tucker this off-season, they will most likely have to make a choice, and if it comes down to Tucker, that could open the door to the Braves.
