The Toronto Blue Jays seem to be shopping shortstop Bo Bichette once again and it looks like the Kansas City Royals could be interested but they would not have him play shortstop.
The Royals had a great season, as they surpassed expectations by a long shot with as they made it to the American League Division Series in which they lost to the New York Yankees.
Kansas City Royals could be interested in trading for Bo Bichette
Kansas City's main goal this off-season will be looking to add an additional solid hitter in Bichette could be for them despite having a slower year this season, he has proven in the past that he could be a great hitter which the Royals are looking for.
To add some spark to the offense, the Royals could look to add another dynamic hitter to play off of Witt in the lineup. And another young All-Star could surprisingly be available if his team decides to take a radical approach to the winter. -Roberts
Bichette is naturally a shortstop and with Bobby Witt Jr, the Royals will likely look at moving Bichette to second base which he has proven he can play very well. In terms of his expiring contract, if Bichette returns to the player he once was prior to 2024, the Royals will likely want to give him a contract extension.
The first point is easy--Bichette isn't a very good defensive shortstop but would likely be a fabulous second baseman. In regards to the contract, the Royals could look at it as a move to go all-in for 2024, or use playing next to Witt as a selling point to sign a long-term extension to form a dream middle-infield tandem for years to come. -Roberts
If the Royals are able to put together a solid offer, there is a high possibility that a trade between these two teams could work out.
