Many teams in the MLB will be going after star Bo Bichette, and the Toronto Blue Jays will not have a lot of time to make a decision once the postseason concludes.
There will be many important dates for the Blue Jays coming up that involves a lot of key pieces, not just Bichette.
The Toronto Blue Jays have little time to make big decisions.
Matthew Sookram of Jays Journal laid out all the important dates for the Blue Jays coming up, there will be a quick turnaround once the postseason ends, and the decisions they make will shape the franchise for years to come.
"But an end is nearing, and with comes a point in time where the franchise will have to make a significant decision. Star shortstop Bo Bichette will be a free agent when the season concludes and many of the other 29 teams will be lining up for his services."-Sookram
Five days after the World Series ends will be the deadline to extend qualifying offers to not only Bichette, but also Chris Bassitt, Max Scherzer, Shane Bieber, Kiner-Falefa and Ty France. It's a lot of players and one of them in Bichette is nearing the $200M mark for his contract value.
"t's likely the Blue Jays will at least offer a qualifying offer to Bichette and it's also likely he will decline that offer. The jury is still out on whether the Blue Jays will extend qualifying offers to the other impending free agents."-Sookram
November 21st will be for the non-tender offers, which means they need to make decisions on Daulton Varsho, , Eric Lauer, Nick Sandlin, Ernie Clement, Ryan Burr and Tyler Heineman.
Lastly December 8th-11th will be winter meetings in Orlando.
"Front office personnel will gather in Orlando as the Winter Meetings take place. While GMs are available to each other 24/7 these days, the Winter Meetings are always a chance for two sides to come together and lay the groundwork for a blockbuster deal - or meet with agents to get a player signed."-Sookram
The Toronto Blue Jays have some key decisions to make and if they are not time efficient they could lose one of their biggest stars, and potentially much more than just Bichette.
