While Bo Bichette could be a perfect trade addition for the Los Angeles Dodgers this month, a trio of MLB insiders recently poured cold water on the notion of a move for the Toronto Blue Jays All-Star.
Heading into the MLB games today, the Los Angeles Dodgers are just a few games out of owning the best record in baseball. While the expectation was that they would dominate the league this season after spending a massive sum of money in the offseason, their position in the MLB standings is impressive considering they are not at full strength.
The organization is expected to be active before the July 30 MLB trade deadline and one position they definitely could look to upgrade is the middle of the infield. Mookie Betts will eventually return from his wrist injury and giving him a better running mate up the middle could further solidify the team as a World Series favorite in the National League.
One top player who could be available before the deadline and seems like a perfect fit is Blue Jays’ two-time All-Star Bo Bichette. He and Betts could form a dynamite-hitting combo and shortstop and second. However, when it seems like a good idea on paper, The Athletic MLB insiders Will Sammon, Patrick Mooney, and Ken Rosenthal explained why president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman may pass on a deal for the 26-year-old for one specific reason.
