The latest Bo Bichette rumors
MLB.com is keeping track of the latest news and rumors surrounding Bo Bichette.
www.mlb.comHere are the latest Bo Bichette updates I can share based on recent reporting:
-
Injury and return timeline: Bichette has been dealing with a knee injury (sprained knee) that prematurely ended his 2025 season, with reports in October 2025 suggesting he was progressing but not yet cleared for full activity; teams were hopeful about a potential return late in the postseason, though exact game availability varied by source. These reports described him taking swings and running in limited fashion as part of rehab, with management taking it day by day.[1][2]
-
Free agency status and potential destinations: By late 2025 into early 2026, multiple outlets threaded Bichette into free-agent discussions, noting his performance when healthy and his injury-adjacent timeline as factors in contract discussions. Rumors and analyses linked him to several markets and suggested teams considering him at shortstop or second base, depending on defensive fit and health status.[3][4][5][6]
-
2026 status: As of early 2026, there were speculative reports about teams like the Mets being connected in rumors to Bichette, with contract figures floated in the media; however, formal team announcements or official confirmations had not been widely reported in all outlets at that time. Other sources continued to track rumors and injury-recovery expectations rather than confirm a specific signing.[9][3]
Credential note: The sources above are from baseball-focused outlets and mainstream sports outlets covering injuries, free agency, and rumor activity around Bo Bichette from late 2025 into early 2026.
