While Bichette is expected to decline the offer, he might end up accepting it after all since no one expected Shane Bieber to accept this player option this off-season which he did a few days ago.
It will be interesting to see how everything plays out with Bichette this off-season if he does end up rejecting the qualifying offer and officially entering free agency.
