Blue Jays Two-Time All-Star Bo Bichette Eyes $212 Million Deal

The Toronto Blue Jays came close to ending their championship drought but fell short at the crucial moment. As they head into the offseason, the team faces key decisions about retaining top performers and addressing roster weaknesses.

One major priority is re-signing star shortstop Bo Bichette. However, keeping him could be difficult given his expected market value. According to MLB insider Tim Britton from The Athletic, Bichette is projected to secure an eight-year contract worth $212 million.

“For Bichette, Willy Adames’ seven-year, $182 million deal with the Giants last winter is particularly helpful. While Adames’ overall production outstrips Bichette’s, the latter has been a better offensive player, and offense gets paid more than defense. Bichette is also a year younger, which could mitigate some of his injury concerns. That’s where the comp to Seager comes in; Seager was a fellow shortstop who performed when healthy but missed plenty of time, and he was paid off his peak performance. Bichette won’t reach those heights, but he should be able to surpass Adames’ deal.”

During the season, Bichette proved his consistency at the plate, posting a .311/.357/.483 line with 44 doubles, 18 home runs, and 94 RBIs across 139 games. His offensive strength continues to make him one of Toronto’s most valuable assets heading into the next campaign.

Author’s Summary

Bo Bichette’s strong season and youth point to a major $212 million deal, reinforcing his position as one of the Blue Jays’ core stars for the future.
