Toronto Blue Jays announce update on their offer to shortstop Bo Bichette
The Toronto Blue Jays biggest priority heading into the off-season is signing Bo Bichette which president Mark Shapiro touched on during a recent interview.
Shapiro recently spoke with reporters about Bichette's future not going into too much details but stating that the goal is to make an effort to keep him.
Blue Jays announce update on making an offer to Bo Bichette
During a recent interview on the MLB Network on Sirius XM, Shapiro spoke once again about Bichette future in which he seemed to be a bit more confident in getting a deal done than last time he spoke about it.
Shapiro stated that the top priority for GM Ross Atkins this off-season will certainly be making an offer to Bichette which confirms there will be no negotiations during the season.
"That will be something Ross addresses when he puts together his offseason plan, and Bo will certainly be a priority and a part of that."
Could there be an extension for Bo Bichette and the Blue Jays before he reaches free agency?
Bichette had a rough 2024 season which is why the Blue Jays have been waiting so long to make him an offer but he has clearly proven this season that he deserves an extension.
So far in 2025, Bichette has been one of the best hitters in baseball as he leads the MLB in totals hits with 153 while also putting up 16 homeruns, 81 RBIs and a .297 batting average.
Most fans would argue that keeping Bichette should still be at the top of their priority list even during the season as waiting until the off-season can only cause problems.
Bichette has made it clear that he wants to stay but if the Blue Jays wait until the off-season they will need to make him an offer worth not testing the free agent market.
