The\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0were linked to\u00a0one of the most potent bats on the free agent market this offseason,\u00a0Toronto Blue Jays\u00a0infielder Bo Bichette. With one of the most potent bats, though, come issues in the field for Bichette, who has negative DRS and OAA totals.<\/p>\n

\"C\u00f3<\/p>\n

Great teams hide shortcomings. No team in the league is better equipped to do that than the laughably deep Dodgers, who could move him to second base. Mookie Betts, a Gold Glove outfielder, was a GG finalist in his first year playing shortstop full-time in 2025.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Los Angeles Dodgers OnSI\u2019s Aaron Coloma\u00a0believes Bichette\u2019s potential acquisition would hardly be an issue for LAD, who could then move Tommy Edman and Andy Pages around the outfield.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy moving Bichette to second, the Dodgers could also plug the holes they have in the outfield. Tommy Edman, the Dodgers’ current second baseman, has plenty of experience in center field, and Andy Pages could move to a corner outfield spot, where he’s better suited,\u201d Coloma wrote.<\/p>\n

\n

Edman, whose numbers don\u2019t pop off the statsheet, might be best used in a utility role, especially\u00a0if Miguel Rojas re-signs as expected. Pages, though, probably deserves a bigger role after a big leap forward this past season.<\/p>\n
