Longtime Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette was given an updated contract projection from ESPN MLB Insider Kiley McDaniel on Tuesday morning, with McDaniel predicting he'll get five years and $150 million instead of the five years and $130 million he originally thought.

MLB insider pours cold water on Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker buzz, suggesting the rumored pairing may be more stretch than substance.

Tucker, a four-time All-Star who spent last season with the Chicago Cubs, reportedly visited the Blue Jays’ training facility in Dunedin, Fla., before the Winter Meetings. Toronto signed former San Diego Padres pitcher Dylan Cease to a seven-year, $210 million contract earlier this month.

And for all we know, Bichette might be Plan B for the Blue Jays if they miss out on Tucker. That saga could end any day, and if Toronto wins the bidding war, the odds of a new deal for Bichette will instantly plummet.

Two teams from the East Coast are reportedly the favorites to land Bo Bichette as a return to Toronto becomes more unlikely.

Bo Bichette’s market has been unusually quiet for a player of his profile, and that silence is becoming harder to ignore. Despite being mentioned by multiple insiders as a potential impact target at shortstop, there has been little visible movement around Bichette, even as teams around him continue to make decisions.

The Atlanta Braves are having a very steady and active offseason to this point. They made two great depth signings by adding Robert Suarez on a $45 million deal, and also reached a contract agreement with outfielder Mike Yastrzemski.
