"Bichette had a great bounce back season in 2025. In 2024 he was held to 81 games and posted the worst numbers of his career, but this past season he hit .311/.357/.483 with 18 home runs, and 94 RBIs in the regular season. He also was healthy enough to play in the World Series after a knee injury kept him out of the lineup for most of September. In the World Series he hit .348/.444/.478 in the Fall Classic."
"While his defence at shortstop remains suspect and he showed in the World Series that he is willing to make a position switch, Passan says that teams aren't scared off if he insists on playing at his primary spot. Passan says, "Beyond the Blue Jays, who have Andrés Giménez to play short but still could conceivably sign Tucker and Bichette, the Atlanta Braves and Detroit have holes at the most important position on the infield.""
Bo Bichette declined the Blue Jays' one-year qualifying offer and will seek a contract exceeding $22 million, drawing interest across MLB. He rebounded in 2025, posting a .311/.357/.483 line with 18 home runs and 94 RBIs, and hit .348/.444/.478 in the World Series after returning from a knee injury. Defensive concerns at shortstop persist, though he showed willingness to change positions. Multiple teams — including clubs with shortstop needs such as Atlanta and Detroit, and New York contenders evaluating upgrades — are expected to pursue him, creating real competition for Toronto.
