Bo Bichette Likely to Leave Blue Jays for Detroit Tigers
The Toronto Blue Jays narrowly missed winning the World Series this season, falling just one game and one run short against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Their offseason decisions will be crucial for their future, especially regarding star shortstop Bo Bichette.
Bichette is entering free agency and is expected to command a contract close to $200 million. According to Joel Reuter of Bleacher Report, the Detroit Tigers are predicted to be his most likely destination.
The Tigers' Interest and Recent Moves
Last offseason, the Tigers were considered a prime suitor for Alex Bregman, ultimately signing Gleyber Torres for a one-year, $15 million deal instead. Now, as Bregman prepares to leave, Detroit might shift focus to another infielder.
“Bo Bichette does not turn 28 years old until March 5, and after a down year in 2024, he returned to elite form offensively this season with a .311/.357/.483 line that included 44 doubles, 18 home runs and 94 RBI in 139 games.”
Bichette's Value and Blue Jays' Challenges
With strong offensive numbers in 2025, Bichette fits the profile of a $200 million player. While the Blue Jays likely have the resources to re-sign him, it is uncertain if they are willing to match or exceed that figure.
The coming months will be pivotal for Toronto as they try to retain one of their key players amid stiff competition.
