Heading into the playoffs, many thought there would be no chance that the Blue Jays bring back Bassitt on a new deal but over the last month, things have changed quite a bit.
Bassitt was used out of the bullpen during the playoffs and was one of the Bleu Jays most reliable arms which might have created a new opportunity for him in Toronto moving forward.
