The Toronto Blue Jays seem to be seriously looking to trade Bo Bichette this off-season and the Atlanta Braves have jumped to the front of the line as a possible suitor.
The Blue Jays mentioned they had no interest in trading Bichette earlier in the off-season but now with so many plans having gone wrong this winter for them, it looks like they are willing to listen to offer.

The Braves are looking for a serious upgrade at shortstop from Orlando Arcia which is why they have so much interest in acquiring Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette even if they have to pay high for him.
"Orlando Arcia was an All-Star as recently as 2023, but he was an iffy selection even then and his stock has plummeted since," Rymer wrote.
"This year, he hit just .218 and produced 0.5 rWAR. The Braves should otherwise be thinking big-picture.
They were a super-team coming into this year, but injuries and unexpectedly poor performances reduced them to an 89-win shell. -Pressnell

According to Bleacher Report's Zach Rymer, he believes the Blue Jays could trade Bichette in exchange for the Braves number one prospect in pitcher Cam Caminiti.
Here's the deal pitched by Rymer to send Bichette to the Braves:
Atlanta Braves receive: SS Bo Bichette
Toronto Blue Jays receive: LHP Cam Caminiti (No. 1 prospect) -Pressnell

Toronto Blue Jays receive: LHP Cam Caminiti (No. 1 prospect) -Pressnell
This could be an interesting move for the Blue Jays who might not be getting an impactful player for the 2025 season but Caminiti would definitely be a big player for the team's future, especially after Ricky Tiedemann needed Tommy John surgery.
Some might think that Caminiti is too much in exchange for Bichette but it seems like Atkins will not move Bichette if he does not get a massive return.
Bichette is very talented and has the potential to return to his All-MLB form, but sending 18-year-old Cam Caminiti to the Blue Jays seems like too steep of a price to pay.
Bichette has the potential to be one of the best shortstops in the league, but his contract is expiring, so trading Atlanta's top prospect doesn't feel very realistic. -Pressnell
