EXCLUSIVE: Why Boston Red Sox STUNNING Push for Bo Bichette Makes SENSE
Locked On Red Sox - Daily Podcast On The Boston Red SoxAbout this episode
The Boston Red Sox pursue Bo Bichette in a blockbuster free agent move that could reshape their 2026 World Series chances. The former Toronto Blue Jays shortstop projects to command an eight-year, $208 million contract, but his defensive limitations raise critical questions about roster construction. Gabby (Hurlbut) Maljanian analyzes multiple infield scenarios featuring Bichette alongside Trevor Story and potentially Alex Bregman, examining how each configuration balances offensive firepower with defensive stability. The discussion explores Bichette's impressive .311 batting average and deep Boston connections, including his parents' history in the city and Craig Breslow's personal relationship with the star infielder. Key focus centers on what Bichette's potential signing means for top prospects Marcelo Mayer and Kristian Campbell, who could become prime trade candidates if the Red Sox commit to veteran infielders. The Bregman decision emerges as the catalyst driving all other moves. Discover how the Red Sox plan to build a championship-caliber infield while managing prospect development and defensive concerns.
