Important MLB offseason dates for Blue Jays fans, as Bo Bichette free agency looms
"The Toronto Blue Jays haven't played this deep into October in a decade and fans across the country are enjoying the ride. But an end is nearing, and with comes a point in time where the franchise will have to make a significant decision. Star shortstop Bo Bichette will be a free agent when the season concludes and many of the other 29 teams will be lining up for his services."
"This is a crucial time for the Blue Jays who will have to make a decision on not only Bichette, but on starting pitchers Chris Bassitt, Max Scherzer, and Shane Bieber, although this is pending on Bieber opting out of his contract, which many expect him to do. Infielders Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Ty France are also set to hit free agency."
Bo Bichette will be a free agent when the season ends and will attract interest from many teams. Teams have five days after the World Series to decide on qualifying offers, with a latest possible deadline of Nov. 6 if the World Series reaches seven games. The Blue Jays must weigh a qualifying offer to Bichette and decisions on starters Chris Bassitt, Max Scherzer and potentially Shane Bieber if he opts out. Infielders Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Ty France also face free agency. The non-tender deadline follows the Owners Meetings on Nov. 21 and could affect players such as Daulton Varsho, Eric Lauer, Nick Sandlin, Ernie Clement, Ryan Burr and Tyler Heineman, with these dates influencing when Bichette might sign with Toronto or another club.
