The Philadelphia Phillies have a meeting set with former Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette.
Free agent Bo Bichette is a busy man this offseason as got married last weekend, and now is setting up meetings with what looks like many serious suitors.
According to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, the Phillies have a meeting set with free agent shortstop Bo Bichette.
The Phillies have a meeting set with Bo Bichette in the coming days and, as circumstances this offseason have changed, so has their interest level in the star infielder.
Jayson Stark of The Athletic reported, that the Phillies have scheduled a meeting with the free agent infielder and his representatives at Vayner Sports that will take place within the next few days.
Philadelphia's interest «is legitimate,» per the report borne out of Bichette's willingness to move off of shortstop and a protracted stare-down between the Phils and free agent catcher J.T. Realmuto, who has yet to sign.
Gelb and Stark note that a deal between the Phillies and Bichette would all but close the door on Realmuto's time in Philadelphia.
New Philadelphia Phillies bench coach Don Mattingly has an "excellent relationship" with 27-year-old 2x All-Star, 2x AL hit leader free agent shortstop Bo Bichette, according to Jon Heyman.
Phillies and star infielder Bo Bichette have a meeting scheduled for Monday. Feels like there's strong mutual interest. Matt Gelb 1st said they'd meet
Bichette had a career year and postseason in 2025
Bichette, still just 27 (28 in March), not only enjoyed a rebound 2025 season after an injury-wrecked 2024 showing, where he turned in what was arguably the best all-around season of his career.
In 628 trips to the plate, he slashed .311/.357/.483 with 18 home runs. His 6.4% walk rate, while still a couple points below league-average, was the best of his career in a full season, as was his 14.5% strikeout rate.

Landing Bichette certainly would be no small feat, but one that'd solidify them as the biggest threats to the Dodgers in the National League and help extend their competitive window beyond the next few seasons.
