Blue Jays Free Agency: Is Toronto preparing for life without Bo Bichette?
"Bichette's fearsome reputation at the plate was known by all by then, as he was previously preparing to come back from a knee injury that cut his 2025 regular season campaign short. He had a stellar year by all accounts, collecting 181 hits with a .311/.357/.483 slashline in 139 games. When Toronto manager John Schneider made the trusting decision to put Bichette into the lineup, he responded by hitting .348 with 6 RBIs in a tightly contested (though not victorious) seven game series."
"With rumours already swirling around Bichette's likely suitors, high-spending teams are ready to make their offers for Toronto's shortstop. One thing remains clear, however: Bo will have these clubs ready to enter a bidding war to secure his level of offensive production. Since 2021, Bichette has tallied the seventh most hits in the Majors, offensive production that Toronto will want to retain in an era that is unquestionably dominated by the pitcher."
On a cold October night in Toronto, the Blue Jays secured a Game 7 win over the Seattle Mariners to reach the World Series. Reporters asked injured Bo Bichette about availability for the Fall Classic against the Dodgers; he responded, "I'll be back." Bichette missed part of the 2025 regular season with a knee injury but finished with 181 hits and a .311/.357/.483 slashline in 139 games. When manager John Schneider reinserted him, Bichette hit .348 with six RBIs in a seven-game series. Bichette is now an unrestricted free agent expected to draw strong offers, and signing him would shape Toronto's direction for 2026.
