They have a loaded starting rotation with multiple pitchers who could compete for the Cy Young. Their starting lineup also has numerous hitters who could be among the best in the league at their position.<\/p>\n<p>But in classic Dodgers fashion, the rich will only look to get richer. The Dodgers are looking to get better and the ideal trade target could fall right into their lap.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles was rumored to be in on shortstop Willy Adames before he signed with the rival San Francisco Giants. Now, the Dodgers could pivot to swinging a blockbuster trade for 26-year-old Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"imageBox\">\n<div class=\"innerBox ar23-innerBox\"><picture class=\"mapping-embed\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2551813\/toronto-blue-jays-infielder-bo-bichette.webp?w=790&amp;f=c0bf6acd9955a4c48e2753a3c62d6cdb 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2551813\/toronto-blue-jays-infielder-bo-bichette.jpg?w=790&amp;f=c0bf6acd9955a4c48e2753a3c62d6cdb 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2551813\/toronto-blue-jays-infielder-bo-bichette.webp?w=900&amp;f=0b683e9fb09cd992151c44701a7b9333 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2551813\/toronto-blue-jays-infielder-bo-bichette.jpg?w=900&amp;f=0b683e9fb09cd992151c44701a7b9333 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2551813\/toronto-blue-jays-infielder-bo-bichette.webp?w=790&amp;f=c0bf6acd9955a4c48e2753a3c62d6cdb 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2551813\/toronto-blue-jays-infielder-bo-bichette.jpg?w=790&amp;f=c0bf6acd9955a4c48e2753a3c62d6cdb 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2551813\/toronto-blue-jays-infielder-bo-bichette.webp?w=450&amp;f=7b82cb2364c6cf70fc0e35355267daee 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2551813\/toronto-blue-jays-infielder-bo-bichette.jpg?w=450&amp;f=7b82cb2364c6cf70fc0e35355267daee 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2551813\/toronto-blue-jays-infielder-bo-bichette.webp?w=1200&amp;f=8a740cbe6ada0b6671d2666a958b8081\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i2551813\" class=\"mapping-embed imgPhoto\" src=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2551813\/toronto-blue-jays-infielder-bo-bichette.jpg?w=1200&amp;f=8a740cbe6ada0b6671d2666a958b8081\" alt=\"Toronto Blue Jays infielder Bo Bichette\" width=\"1200\" height=\"788\" \/><\/picture><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption ar23-caption\"><span id=\"short-cap-description\" class=\"cap\">TORONTO, ON &#8211; APRIL 28: Bo Bichette #11 of the Toronto Blue Jays takes his batting stance while at bat against the Los Angeles Dodgers during the third inning in their MLB game at the&#8230;<\/span>\u00a0<button id=\"read-more-cap\">More<\/button>\u00a0<span class=\"credit ar23-credit\">Mark Blinch\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bichette is coming off a horrible season in which he slashed a career-low .225\/.277\/.322 with just four home runs in 81 games.

They would be able to land a package from the Dodgers likely centered around another reclamation project: Bobby Miller.<\/p>\n<p>Miller was excellent in 2023 but un-pitchable in 2024. A deal sending Miller plus prospects to Toronto isn&#8217;t outside the realm of possibility just yet.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers would acquire a shortstop to slot into the everyday lineup. If Los Angeles can turn Bichette&#8217;s career back around, it would be landing an elite hitter.<\/p>\n<p>The Blue Jays haven&#8217;t made a move this offseason.
