Blue Jays' Bo Bichette Projected to Sign Long-Term Deal in Toronto

Bo Bichette is viewed as the Toronto Blue Jays' top offseason priority. With Shane Bieber choosing to exercise his player option and stay with the team for another season, Toronto now has more financial room to pursue a long-term deal with Bichette.

According to projections, the Blue Jays are expected to offer Bichette an eight-year contract worth approximately $212 million. This would secure one of the franchise’s cornerstone players for the foreseeable future.

Comparing Bichette’s Potential Contract

To estimate the potential value of Bichette’s new deal, it helps to examine comparable contracts from similar players. For reference, Willy Adames signed a seven-year, $182 million contract with the San Francisco Giants last winter. Although Adames' defensive stats may be stronger, Bichette’s offensive output has been more consistent — and offensive numbers typically command higher salaries.

At 28 years old, Bichette is also a year younger than Adames, which might ease some concerns about injuries as he enters free agency.

"Bo Bichette is the Toronto Blue Jays' biggest priority this offseason."

With added payroll flexibility and Bichette’s continued importance to the lineup, Toronto appears ready to make a serious long-term investment in its All-Star shortstop.

Author’s Summary

The Toronto Blue Jays are likely to lock in Bo Bichette on an eight-year, $212 million deal, solidifying his role as their foundation for future success.
