The best free-agent shortstop available this offseason appears to now be the top option at second base, as well.
Bo Bichette is letting interested teams know that he's willing to switch positions and make a permanent move to second, sources told Mark Feinsand of MLB.com.
Bichette entered free agency as one of the top offensive players available, but there were questions about his ability to remain a shortstop long term. Advanced metrics have pegged him as one of the worst defensive shortstops in the majors in recent years. He ranked in the first percentile in outs above average and the 36th percentile in arm strength in 2025, according to Baseball Savant.
