The Los Angeles Dodgers make a lot of sense as a landing spot for Toronto Blue Jays infielder Bo Bichette this winter.
The Freddy Peralta talks are about to resume in earnest. Both New York clubs, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves and Boston Red Sox are among the teams showing interest. Some low-revenue clubs that can absorb Peralta’s $8 million salary are in play as well.
The Phillies are among a number of big-market teams to have interest in Bo Bichette, an ultra young (27) free agent. Yanks, Cubs, Dodgers, Red Sox and incumbent Jays, too. Bichette is the only player to hit .300 vs. fastballs, breaking balls and also changeups/splits.
No team has spent more this offseason than the Blue Jays. They’ve committed $337 million in future salary to free agents like pitcher Dylan Cease, pitcher Cody Ponce, pitcher Tyler Rogers and infielder Kazuma Okamoto, who agreed to a deal on Saturday.
