Bo Bichette Trade Destinations: Top 3 landing spots for hard-hitting shortstop

It may seem inconceivable to Toronto Blue Jays fans but it may be in the team's best interest to trade Bo Bichette while his value is at an all-time high. While he is electric on offense, the talented shortstop has proven himself to be a liability on defense.

"Bo Bichette on offense is very good… Bo Bichette on defense is very suspect #NextLevel" - @Cookser4

It's difficult to argue that Bichette is not one of the best offensive shortstops in baseball. So far this season, he owns a dazzling .320 batting average with nine home runs, 30 RBIs, and 28 runs scored, which makes it seem that a trade will be unlikely.

However, given his defensive liabilities, the Blue Jays front office may be open to making a blockbuster trade if the right offer came along. Furthermore, rumors have continued to grow among the fanbase about whether or not the team should move on from the shortstop.

Here's a look at three potential landing spots for the talented shortstop if he is indeed available on the trade market.

#1 - The Los Angeles Angels may have the most intriguing trade package for Bo Bichette

A trade that has been mentioned in the past, if the Los Angeles Angels decide that they will be unable to re-sign superstar Shohei Ohtani, Bichette could headline an enticing trade package. This may be the most exciting trade idea for Blue Jays fans as they would land arguably the greatest player in the MLB.

"Nice if Bichette to pump up his trade value for an Ohtani trade with a good September" - @LFGBlueJays

Several experts across the MLB believe that the Angels will look to trade Shohei Ohtani if they are not in playoff contention near the trade deadline, as the two-way star will likely walk in free agency. This is where Bo Bichette enters the conversation, as he, along with other pieces, could convince the Angels to make the move.

#2 - The San Diego Padres could be a serious contender for a superstar swap

One of the most aggressive teams on the trade market, the San Diego Padres could potentially work out a blockbuster deal involving their young superstars. The Blue Jays would likely consider a trade of Bo Bichette if the Friars were willing to include a young star such as Juan Soto or Fernando Tatis Jr.

The Blue Jays have some talented infield prospects such as Addison Barger and Orelvis Martinez, which could allow the team to pursue an outfielder such as Juan Soto. The final details of the trade would need to be worked out, however, one could see the Padres interested in Bichette.

"Would you trade Bo Bichette if the Nationals wanted him as the centrepiece in a trade for Juan Soto?" - @AHobsonMedia

#3 - The Blue Jays could get whatever they want from the Chicago White Sox

Perhaps one of the most disappointing teams in all of baseball, the Chicago White Sox are the favorite to completely re-tool their roster this season. This is where Bo Bichette could come into play, as the Toronto Blue Jays could likely demand anything they wanted from the struggling Southside squad.

While a Bichette trade, in general, seems unlikely, the Toronto Blue Jays elected to go "all-in" this season and could likely add Tim Anderson and Lucas Giolito, along with several other key pieces on both sides of the ball. If the Blue Jays were interested in loading up on talent, they could cash in on the White Sox's frustrating season.
