"The longtime Blue Jays shortstop is now a free agent, and after a brilliant bounce-back campaign in 2025, he's due to strike it rich on the open market. The shortstop hit .311/.357/.483 with 18 home runs, supplying 3.8 fWAR and a 134 wRC+ to the lineup. His defense remains a serious question mark - he accrued -13 Outs Above Average and -12 Defensive Runs Saved this season - but a move to second base in the World Series could portend a long-term change."
"In their annual Top 50 free agent predictions piece, all four of MLBTR's experts (Steve Adams, Anthony Franco, Darragh McDonald, and Tim Dierkes) peg Toronto as the most likely landing spot for Bichette. Though they mention other suitors like the Tigers, Giants, Braves, Angels, and Dodgers, the consensus appears to be that the Jays will do whatever it takes to keep Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s co-star in town."
Bo Bichette is a free agent after a strong 2025 season, hitting .311/.357/.483 with 18 home runs, 3.8 fWAR and a 134 wRC+. Defensive metrics remained poor, with -13 Outs Above Average and -12 Defensive Runs Saved, though a World Series move to second base could indicate a positional shift that helps his defense. MLB Trade Rumors' four experts unanimously project Bichette will re-sign with the Blue Jays, while listing other potential suitors including the Tigers, Giants, Braves, Angels and Dodgers. MLBTR projects an eight-year, $208 million contract for Bichette in free agency.
