If the New York Yankees went out and signed Bo Bichette in free agency, they’d immediately turn what’s already looking like a questionable offseason into a triumph. Bichette would be an obvious upgrade at shortstop to Anthony Volpe, whose career might benefit by getting a fresh start elsewhere while he’s still young (and before the Yankees mess with him further). Bichette’s bat would help mitigate the Yankees’ contact and swing-and-miss issues, as well as make up for the possible loss of Cody Bellinger.
Indeed, a Yankees offseason defined so far by a weird Trent Grisham qualifying offer (it’s early, we know) would be flipped on its head in the best possible way with a Bichette signing.
