Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette seems to be feeling like his old self once again and the league should be worried.
Bichette has been surrounded by trade rumors for the past few seasons and nothing has changed this year as he enters the final year of his deal with an extension in sight, many are still wondering if the Blue Jays will trade him.
Blue Jays Bo Bichette looks to be back to his old self for the start of 2025
During a recent interview, Bichette admitted that he did not handle things well last season as he let rumors get the best of him which is why his game struggled so much.
«I feel like that's some of the stuff I dealt with last year,» Bichette said. «There were things going on about me that I probably didn't handle the best in terms of rumours and things like that. I've learned from that." -Bichette
Bichette added that this year he is going in with a completely different mentality and that his only focus is being the best player he can be and helping the Blue Jays win as many games as possible.
"This year, I really am just focused on being the best that I can be and winning every day. That's all I've ever wanted to do, is come out here and compete at a high level and help my team win. I look forward to doing that.» -Bichette
«It's quality of contact to all fields. Ridiculous ability to cover the zone,» he continued. «I'm looking at the intent in his swings. When I think of last year compared to his whole career, just looked like a little bit in between - am I going to take a shot, am I going to go back to my comfort zone? That bled into a couple of weeks at a time. -Bichette
If the Blue Jays can get Bichette back to the player he was before 2024, he is definitely one of the best shortstops in the league and bring a ton of offense which the Blue Jays need.
Most analysts believe that Bichette will have an incredible bounce back season but at this point it is up to him to prove it but as of right now from what he has shown at camp, things are looking very good.
