REPORT: Yankees INTENSIFY Interest in Bo Bichette?

44 comments

1. Yeah Belli would be great but if the Yankees get strung along too long then they will miss out on too many other possibilities.

2. I don't buy it… just pressure on Boras/Belli. Bichette has QO attached — not happening. Plus doesn't fit defensively.

3. Jazz and bo can play together. 2nb baseman and SS is similar. I trust jazz defense even in shortstop. This is their only and best bet. Because LOOK vope = Bo . Or Belinger = Domingez. . Yankees need to get what they need. Bo is perfect. Give domingez chance to succeed.

4. Get them both!!

5. I heard we "checked in on Skubal", breaking news, I must say!

6. Agreed, Ryan.

   Boras is not someone who panics. He will stare down every team. That works 99% of the time, but there are others when he does bobble the ball. If Bellinger wants to return to the Yankees, as I believe he does, he's the only one who can put pressure on Boras to close out the deal with the Yankees. As for Bichette, he could certainly hold down SS for the first two months, and then they could shift him to 2B and Jazz to 3B. If they're hitting on all cylinders, they could leave Bichette there for the year and turn Volpe into the all-purpose bench/infielder. Deal with that then. The Yankees may not be fully serious, but it reminds me of an old song from the '70s. Fooled around and fell in love. They might meet with and fool around with Bichette and then fall in love, and Bellinger may be standing on the outside looking in.

7. I would love both. Bo in the lead-off spot would add a dynamic.

8. Bo would immediately become the second best hitter on the Yankees so why wouldn’t you want him? We can figure out where he goes defensively later.

9. I'm not sure Bo would be enough.

10. Hard pass on Bo he’s DJ 2.0 trust me terrible idea

11. Fake news complete BS.

12. They need to put the pedal down for Bichete. He doesn't want to stay in Toronto anymore.

13. He says he wants to be a Yankee so Bellinger needs to tell Borass he wants to accept 2nd offer!

14. Get Bichette and Peralta and we’re good!

15. I like Bellinger but I keep remembering that he pretty much disappeared in October.

16. If they are the New York Yankees they get both!

17. Heyman is a Yankee troller. He has no interest in the truth when it comes to New Yorks baseball team. He’s a Mets homer before anything else.

18. To play shortstop?I don't believe it

19. Heyman is on the Boras payroll

20. Scared tatic to make Bellinger to sign

21. They need a heck of a lot more than Belly on offense

22. Another guy they're "interested " in and won't get…unless he'll play for free. That tax is krytonite to Hak

23. John Heyman is the biggest bullshitter in MLB. Yanks ain’t getting anything worth jack shit this off-season!

24. Can’t Run, Can’t play defense, it will be tough for me to watch bichette in any other spot other than DH.

25. Bo too slow, but Belli clearly wants to better-deal the Yanks. NYY need to pivot, but not necessarily to Bo.

26. Belli to Mets, Tucker to Jays, Bo to Phillies!!

27. If Yanks want to put pressure on Belli camp. Go after Tucker not Bo…

28. Word ia that Bo wants $300M. No way he is getting that from NY. Maybe in on a smaller number over less years.

    Definitely think its leverage for Belli

29. Bichette is the personality and player the Yankees require. He has the drive and burning desire and would be terrific as a long term second baseman. There are very few players on this team that resemble those who played during the Dynasty years, so this would be a step in the right direction. You then trade Chisholm for pitching; good riddance to that attitude and arrogance and lack of heart. Jazz plays for himself. You get out of Stanton (2 years left at $34M total) by whatever means necessary to liberate money, which would of course mean adding at least one higher end prospect and yes, you make it work with Bellinger. The DH would finally be one that is revolving, which is huge. Finally, I believe that one of, if not both Volpe and Wells will have improved offensive seasons.

30. problem is he wants 300 hundred thousand which is to much and hes meeting phillies tomorrow

31. I dont think the Yanks are planning on signing anyone.

32. Try again!
    The Phillies have at least scheduled a meeting for Monday for a meet and greet. Give it up on these posts. Not happening

33. Its Bellinger or a plan B in which would be looking to trade for a starting pitcher. They would spend Bellingers $$ on a pitcher if he signs elsewhere

34. We had arguably the worst shortstop last year and we’re scared to play Bichette at short?😂 Man quit playing get both of them

35. I wouldn't mind a RH Bichette that has cut his Ks way down. Look at last 5 yrs, Bichette beats Belli in every category except HRs.. only 6 off pace. Belli much better defender and more versatile, but Bo is younger and not in his prime yet and better offense than Belli.

36. HEYMAN IS FULL OF Propaganda! HE IS A BORAS STOOGE!!!

37. Ooh

38. Aren’t the Yanks trying to get more right-handed? Wouldn’t Bichette be the natural choice then? Bichette could play 2B and Chisholm could easily handle LF, having played CF in Miami. Volpe isn’t finished; he’s a great bounce-back candidate. Caballero and Cabrera figure to get some reps as well. And I can’t see Cashman trading away Dominguez or Jones. The Yanks have all the leverage, not Boras and Bellinger.

39. @firesideyankees Ryan Garcia I don’t see the Yankees signing Bo Bichette his defense is bad and slow base runner

40. Unc that thumbnail 😭😭

41. Apparently the offer for Bellinger is 30mil AAV now, and they're still far away. That's insane. Move on!!

42. Im out… we could sign cody, tucker, bo, trade for peralty and were still getting shit on my Toronto and LA… until boone is out… and this team is gutted and built around speed defense and contact… not rly bothered to care about my yanks rn

43. Bo wants 300 million. So that is to rich for your blood.

44. No it doesn’t. He’ll be a Philly in the morning. I’ll be back to say I told you so.
