Former New York Yankee demands team aggressively pursue Bo Bichette

Former Yankee Clint Frazier has a message for New York's front office.
The former outfielder's message to New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman was simple. "Get Bo Bichette".
Much of Frazier's plea has to do with the status of current incumbent Anthony Volpe.
«There's really only one premium shortstop in the free agency market, and his name is Bo Bichette. Bo Bichette needs to be a legitimate person that the Yankees go after. They need to offer him a contract that makes the most sense, maybe overpay him a little bit just to try to fill that spot.»
With Volpe, who struggled last season, set to undergo surgery, Frazier took to his YouTube channel to make his case.
While he acknowledged the price was high - allegedly around eight years and $200MM - Frazier opines that it is worth it, especially if it means that the Los Angeles Dodgers lose out.

Bichette wants to remain in Toronto, but will the Blue Jays pay up?
Much like with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. last season, Bichette has indicated that he wants to remain a Blue Jay, especially after this year's success. However, if he ends up leaving, the Yankees seem like a fairly reasonable destination, though they would likely have to pay more of a premium than Toronto would for Bo's services.
The way Frazier sees, he just doesn't want the Yankees to miss out on big-name players.
But the proverbial ball is in Bichette's court.
