Fine with this, pretty sure Bichette’s asking for 8 years
Before we freak out he and Marte are both second basemen
Thank god, he’s the one “big” free agent I really would hesitate to give a market value contract to
Bichette has more risks of a contract not aging well since he’s a poor defender already. Not saying his bat wouldn’t be a great add, but for the money he wants I’d rather spend it elsewhere.
get. bregman.
Sox are out on anyone that requires spending money…oh wait that’s everyone!
Once they started talking Marte there was never any hope
He’s a very good player but he seemed like the least likely out of the Bregman/ Ketel/ Bo contingent.
Once Story opted-in I felt like he didn’t make much sense for us.
Should be edited to read as “Red Sox not in on any Free Agents”. Brace for it
His glove is Swiss cheese, not a good fit
Okay, I also think Campbell at some point can be a light version. The defense and age profile of Bichette scares me a lot. First 3 years are going to be fine but from year 5 to 8 us going to be brutal. A team might stick him in the corner outfield. It doesnt fit us.
Bregman, Marte, Alonso
Good. I want no part of a bad defensive shortstop who relies heavily on BABIP to provide offensive value.
Is that even Dante’s kid?
I’m relieved. There’s some serious red flags in Bichette’s game. High probability any contract exceeding 4 years becomes an albatross.
I approve, can’t stand bo bitchette
Bargain Huntin’ Breslow.
It’s all good, I hope he stays with the Jays.
INTEREST KINGS!!!!!!
Bichette is the type of guy I’d have loved to see as a Red Sox for his pre-arbitration and/or arbitration years, but I want nothing to do with them as a free agent going into his 30s. He doesn’t look like the type who is going to age well or be especially reliable on both sides of the ball.
Oh well, let’s get another bat who we’d all much be happier with anyways
This could just mean that Toronto is prepared to beat any offer
Aka unless he becomes cheaper
Good. Never should’ve been in on him in the first place.
