Longtime Blue Jays teammates could earn Silver Slugger sendoff before likely breakup
"Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. have been teammates since they were teenagers. Both of them have come up through the Toronto Blue Jays system as young men, and now in their prime are looking to capture baseball's biggest prize. Bichette and Guerrero Jr. are gearing up for their first ever World Series appearance as they take on the LA Dodgers starting on Friday for Game 1 at Rogers Centre."
"Bichette is slated to hit free agency this upcoming offseason and while he's proven he can be one of the best hitters in the game, when healthy, the Blue Jays have also proven they can win without him. Bichette has missed the last six weeks of baseball, and in that time the Blue Jays not only locked down the AL East division title, they made it all the way to the World Series."
"If it is his final season with the Blue Jays and alongside his longtime pal in Guerrero, Bichette has made it a memorable one. After a disastrous 2024 campaign, Bichette rebounded and had one of the better years of his career and he's been nominated as a Silver Slugger finalist for shortstops, while Vladdy has been named among the American League's first basemen"
Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. have progressed through the Blue Jays system together since their teens and now reach their first World Series as primary contributors. They will face the LA Dodgers beginning Friday at Rogers Centre. Bichette will likely return from a six-week absence to join the Fall Classic after the Blue Jays clinched the AL East and advanced. Bichette enters free agency this offseason after rebounding from a poor 2024 season, and both players earned Silver Slugger finalist recognition at shortstop and first base. Their shared tenure in Toronto could end after this season.
