Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Depending on what the Atlanta Braves want to accomplish during the offseason, there&#8217;s a rather obvious option for them at the shortstop position.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible that Ha-Seong Kim could return on a new deal, but reports have also indicated that Scott Boras is looking to do whatever it takes to get him paid, as he had a great second half and will likely be somewhat expensive.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn&#8217;t mean the Braves can&#8217;t go out and add him, but if the price inches up a bit higher than most expect, spending more money on someone like Bo Bichette might be the better plan.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Snyder of CBS Sports recently named Bichette as one of the top options for the Braves to pursue this winter, adding that there&#8217;s an apparent need to improve at shortstop if Kim walks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt shortstop, Bo Bichette could solve some problems if the Braves are ready to spend big, though it sure seems like it&#8217;ll be tough to beat the Blue Jays in the bidding. Then again, if Toronto goes with an all-out pursuit of Kyle Tucker, as rumored, there might be an opening to pry Bichette away. The Braves would take a hit defensively with Bichette at short (or Albies at short and Bichette at second), but his bat makes it worthwhile. Dub\u00f3n can sub in for a late-inning defensive replacement when they need,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Bichette is a tough player to evaluate in some sense, but mainly due to how poorly he plays the shortstop position defensively.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of that, he&#8217;s one of the better-hitting shortstops in baseball, at least in terms of getting on base.<\/p>\n<p>His power numbers have dipped a tad recently, but he&#8217;s still a 20-plus home run type of guy if he&#8217;s at the top of his game.<\/p>\n<h2>More Braves news:<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If the Braves want Bo Bichette, they&#8217;ll have to open their pockets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":125089,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[71,1321,3406,317,4671,309,2562,1422],"class_list":["post-125088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-bo-bichette","tag-ha-seong-kim","tag-kyle-tucker","tag-matt-snyder","tag-scott-boras","tag-shortstop-position","tag-toronto"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
