"One of the key storylines this offseason that everyone will be closely monitoring will be whether or not star shortstop Bo Bichette will return to the Toronto Blue Jays. As one of the main driving forces of the Blue Jays offense in each of the past seven seasons, the lasting impact of Bichette departing from the organization can not be underestimated."
"According to Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun, Bichette had quietly suggested the potential of joining the Blue Jays arch rivals New York Yankees in the near future. Simmons stated, "Bichette told everyone who would listen that he wants to stay a Blue Jay as free agency approaches. He wants to continue his World Series quest with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He said that publicly while quietly telling some people he wouldn't mind playing in New York in the future. The immediate future.""
Bo Bichette's return to the Toronto Blue Jays is a pivotal offseason question given his role as a primary offensive driver over the past seven seasons. The loss of Bichette would leave a significant void that internal options and available free agents cannot adequately fill. One MLB insider suggested Bichette will likely re-sign with Toronto, but other rumors indicate he quietly considered joining the New York Yankees. A move to the Yankees would strengthen New York's lineup alongside Aaron Judge and deepen the Blue Jays' offensive problems. Such a departure would be emotionally painful for the franchise and its fanbase.
