The Dodgers are in a strong position. Bichette fills a clear need without forcing changes elsewhere, and his bat raises the ceiling of an already elite lineup. Toronto may gain future assets, but Los Angeles gains a player who fits their timeline and their approach to winning now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow (31) and pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (18) celebrate after defeating the Toronto Blue…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":510660,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2378],"tags":[5,377,2554,64705,67428,57,4,2046,282,70,2553],"class_list":{"0":"post-510659","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-toronto-blue-jays","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-blue-jays","10":"tag-bluejays","11":"tag-bo-bichette-trade-rumors","12":"tag-dodgers-championship-odds","13":"tag-los-angeles-dodgers","14":"tag-mlb","15":"tag-mlb-free-agency","16":"tag-toronto","17":"tag-toronto-blue-jays","18":"tag-torontobluejays"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/115857068231155216","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510659","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=510659"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/510659\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/510660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=510659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=510659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=510659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow (31) and pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (18) celebrate after defeating the Toronto Blue Jays (Image via Imagn) The Los Angeles Dodgers are being closely linked to Bo Bichette as free agency approaches. People around the league believe the Dodgers are willing to wait. The idea is simple: let the market settle, then step in with an offer that favors a shorter term and a higher yearly salary.Toronto\u2019s chances of keeping Bichette appear to be shrinking. While a return is still possible, there is growing belief that Los Angeles sees an opening. The Los Angeles Dodgers have payroll flexibility, a clear plan, and a roster built to win now. That combination makes them a serious threat if Bichette reaches the open market without a deal in place.<\/p>\n![\"Toronto](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1767838454_439_toronto-blue-jays-shortstop-bo-bichette.jpg\" "\\"Toronto")
