Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette has simply been on fire in the month of May which is seriously increasing his value for his upcoming contract.
There has been rumors over the last few weeks that Bichette would likely be able to land a deal in free agency worth around $147 million over 7 years but with how he has been playing that number might going up.
Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette has been on fire in the month of May
Over the last month, Bichette has arguably been one of the Blue Jays best players with an incredible slash line of .261/.325/.513 to go along with 7 homeruns and 19 RBIs.
But Bichette had the best overall month of any hitter on the team. He slashed .261/.325/.513 with an .838 OPS. He hit as many home runs as Varsho (seven) and led the team with 19 RBI. He had a team-high 59 total bases. He also posted eight doubles and drew 11 walks against 23 strikeouts. -Postins
Since Bichette has been playing so well, his stock has definitely gone up quite a bit which has the Blue Jays having to make a very tough decision in the next two month as the trade deadline approaches.
It's not clear if Toronto will be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline. But Bichette's resurgence is great for either scenario. He can bring them a haul as a trade piece or be part of the solution if Toronto loads up to contend. Then, in the offseason, Bichette can call his own shot in free agency. -Postins
The Blue Jays still seem unclear on if they plan on keeping Bichette or trading him at the deadline but with the way he is playing both scenarios would work for the team since his trade value has gone up a lot and if they keep him, he has been one of their best players lately.
If Toronto decides to trade Bichette after all of this, they will have a very hard time replacing him since they have struggled over the last few years convincing top end free agents to come to Toronto.
It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out.
