While it's only the end of May, there's no shortage of rumor buzz around next year's free agent class. Perhaps the biggest name in that impending free agent class is Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette. Insider Kerry Miller seems to believe the end is near for Bichette in Toronto.
Insider believes that the Blue Jays would be willing to trade Bo Bichette for the right offer
Those in the know don't seem to be sure if the Blue Jays will be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline coming up since they currently sit around .500 however it looks like regardless of that Bichette might be on the move.
Insider Kerry Miller recently stated that the Blue Jays will not be shopping
Bichette but that if a team presents them with a phenomenal offer they will likely end up trading him.
They won't be shopping Bichette, so to speak, but they might be willing to be blown away by an offer. -Miller
Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller calls Bichette the "most likely" Toronto player to be traded. -Heyen
The problem with the Blue Jays trading Bichette is that there chances of finding a solid replacement would be very slim since over the last few years they can't seem to get a big names to come to Toronto in free agency.
If the Blue Jays decide to trade Bichette, it will be a very risky move since they need to make sure that they are able to replace him and quickly.
Whether they trade him or sign him to an extension, the Blue Jays need to act quickly because holding onto him just to see him leave in free agency would be the biggest loss of all.
