The Phillies, who often wield years as their separator, might be the only team willing to extend to six, seven or eight years for Bichette.

For one, it would almost assuredly mean the end of J.T. Realmuto's time in Philadelphia. While the veteran catcher has regressed offensively (.257 with 12 homers, 52 RBI and a .700 OPS in 2025), he is widely respected by the team's pitching staff and known to call a great game.
