MLB insider believes Bo Bichette may not return to the Blue Jays and could sign for the Red Sox if the latter fails to re-sign Alex Bregman.

The Boston Red Sox have interest in adding the rival Toronto Blue Jays ex-infielder as an “alternative” to their third baseman.

All throughout the offseason you’ll hear rumors and reports floating around that the Red Sox are involved with various players. Some are more plausible than others, and more often than not nothing comes of it.

A former MLB executive now believes that the Boston Red Sox will land coveted free agent infielder Bo Bichette from Toronto.

The Red Sox need to make a move to add an infielder, and the top candidate is veteran third baseman Alex Bregman. Bregman played one season with the Red Sox, but opted out of his contract this offseason. ESPN's Kiley McDaniel projected on Tuesday that Bregman would sign a massive five-year, $170 million contract in free agency this offseason.

Fresh off a World Series appearance with the Blue Jays, the free agent shortstop is flirting with a division rival.
