One of them is Bichette.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Red Sox continue to pursue another bat for the infield even after trading for Willson Contreras, according to the Boston Globe. Among their targets are Cardinals super utility man Brendan Donovan, Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte, Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes, and free agents Bo Bichette and Alex Bregman. Bregman spent 2025 with Boston,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/mlb\/news\/mlb-rumors-alex-bregman-tigers-orioles-zach-eflin-red-sox-kazuma-okamoto\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:he wrote;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">he wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s tough to say Bichette is better than Bregman. Bregman is an elite defender and can really swing it. Bichette is a below-average defender and can really swing it. However, Bichette is younger, and if Bregman were to get $200-plus million, there\u2019s reason to believe they\u2019d rather just give Bichette the same price.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>We also have to factor in the Red Sox doing this to hurt the Blue Jays in a sense. Regardless, though, it should play itself out as Boston and Toronto both look to do what they have to.<\/p>\n<p>More Blue Jays news:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Blue Jays get Red Sox update on pursuit of Bo Bichette amid questions about Alex Bregman\u2019s future in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2375],"tags":[72,5,88,141,48,2542,4492,160,38,893,729,4,89,2543,70,409],"class_list":{"0":"post-501466","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-red-sox","8":"tag-alex-bregman","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-bo-bichette","11":"tag-boston","12":"tag-boston-red-sox","13":"tag-bostonredsox","14":"tag-brendan-donovan","15":"tag-cardinals","16":"tag-diamondbacks","17":"tag-isaac-paredes","18":"tag-ketel-marte","19":"tag-mlb","20":"tag-red-sox","21":"tag-redsox","22":"tag-toronto-blue-jays","23":"tag-willson-contreras"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/115819795581782780","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
