00:00Are you hearing about the Phillies' interest in Bo Bichette?

00:04I mean, I think it's real, and to that point, they have a Zoom call scheduled for some time in the coming days.

00:11I'm not exactly sure which day, but I expect a lot of team officials and coaches to be on that call,

00:19and I think they're trying to make a pitch to Bo Bichette, and it's an interesting point in time

00:24because I don't know that the Phillies were thinking they'd be in this position last month or two months ago for sure.

00:33I think they've always had interest in the player, in Bo Bichette.

00:37How could you not?

00:38I mean, he's one of the younger guys on the free agent market.

00:41As I wrote in my story, it's kind of hard to believe.

00:43He's 19 months younger than Alex Boehm.

00:45He's five months younger than Bryson Stott.

00:47I mean, it's weird because Bichette's getting the free agency at such a young age.

00:50He doesn't turn 28 until March.

00:52I think the fact that things with J.T. Romuto have lingered on has just prompted the front office

01:00to really think about what path they want to go down.

01:03And look, all this said, right, I think Bo Bichette has a really good market,

01:08and I laid it out in the story.

01:09I mean, I think there are numerous big market teams that are really interested in this guy.

01:13So I think the Phillies are entering into a pretty competitive market for Bichette.

01:16I also think that they've really thought about this, and their interest is real.
