If Red Sox still want Bo Bichette, free agent news just shifted the competition

Key Highlights

• "Toronto’s chances of re-signing Bichette appeared to be fading as the club ramped up its pursuit of Tucker after landing third baseman Kazuma Okamoto.
• But now that Tucker is no longer an option, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the aggressive Blue Jays pivot to Bichette."AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMORE: An Air Force Captain will pitch for Team USA at the World Baseball ClassicThe Philadelphia Phillies are still wholeheartedly in on Bichette, too. Boston may not have been the favorite once the Phillies (and even the Yankees) entered the picture, but the Red Sox also could feel they have to get a deal done after losing Bregman. It's going to be a fascinating bidding war to watch.
• Some teams will also be in on Cody Bellinger after losing out on Tucker, but not Boston.
• The Red Sox have more than enough outfielders. If Bichette is still on their wish list, though, they better get to work.
