The Toronto Blue Jays seem to be looking at trading shortstop Bo Bichette regardless of Ross Atkins stating that he wants to keep him earlier this off-season.
Earlier this off-season at the GM meetings, Ross Atkins stated that he had no plan on trading Bo Bichette this off-season but it looks like things have changed according to recent reports.
Reports announce an update regarding the Blue Jays looking to trade Bo Bichette
A recent report came out a few days ago stating that multiple MLB rival executives told insider Ken Rosenthal that the Blue Jays are open to trading Bichette this off-season regardless of what has been said by Atkins to the media.
Executives from three rival teams told The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal that the Blue Jays aren't shopping the 26-year-old infielder but are open to dealing him for a high price. -McWilliam
According to Rosenthal, he has now confirmed that the Blue Jays are open to trading Bichette but are looking for a high price with the return which is normal since they will not trade him just to get him off the roster.

Clearly if the Blue Jays are willing to shop Bichette it is because they are still uncertain if they will offer him a contract extension as he is entering the final year of his current deal in 2025.
If the Blue Jays do trade Bichette, the will ideally need to target either a first baseman or third baseman so that they can move Ernie Clement to shortstop to replace Bichette as it seems unlikely they would trade for a shortstop.
Hopefully if Atkins does decide to go this route, he is able to land the Blue Jays a worthy return.
