The Toronto Blue Jays are looking to move on from shortstop Bo Bichette and according to reports they could be interested in signing Milwaukee Brewers Willy Adames.
As the Blue Jays are currently shopping Bichette, it seems that many teams could be interested in making a trade as the Dodgers, Brewers and Braves have all expressed interest in Bichette.
"Toronto could look to trade him, clearing a lane for Orelvis Martinez to come up to the big leagues and start at shortstop. Bichette is still young and packs a ton of talent, so his value in a trade would be higher than his play was last year, especially with how many teams are going to be looking for a shortstop this Winter," wrote Pressnell. "The Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers all come to mind as teams that would be aggressive in trying to acquire Bichette if the Blue Jays opt to move him."
Blue Jays interested in brining in Willy Adames to replace Bo Bichette
Adames is set to become a free agent this winter and is likely in for quite the pay day after a career year with 32 homeruns and 112 RBIs. The Brewers all-star is projected to sign a 6 year $152 million contract this off-season while some insiders believe he will end up signing for even more than that which the Blue Jays could afford.
Adames is projected to earn a six-year, $152 million contract, but the reality might be even pricier. The Brewers would love to have him back, but they do not generally dish out that kind of money. Bichette signed a three-year, $33 million extension with the Blue Jays in 2023. He will be a free agent after next season. -Mohammed
The Brewers have mentioned that they want to keep Adames but with the money he will be looking for, there is a good chance they end up letting him walk in free agency in which he is regarded as the top shortstop on the market this winter.
