The MLB qualifying offer deadline is this evening as the Blue Jays are set to make an offer to Bo Bichette before free agency officially begins tonight.

The Blue Jays main concern this off-season is locking up Bichette to a long term deal and it looks like they will be making their first offer this afternoon.

Blue Jays set to make first offer to Bo Bichette today

Today is the final day for MLB teams to extend qualifying offers to their players heading for free agency as players will be able to negotiate and sign with any team as of 5 PM this afternoon.
MLB's quiet period ends today. As of 5pm ET, free agents can negotiate & sign with any club.

Today is also the deadline for teams to make qualifying offers to eligible free agents.

According to reports, the Blue Jays are expected to make a qualifying offer to Bichette this afternoon ahead of free agency beginning at 5 PM ET.
Blue Jays are expected to make Bo Bichette a qualifying offer later today. Teams typically wait until the afternoon/evening to announce.

The Blue Jays will need to get a deal done today if they want to avoid Bichette receiving offers from other teams, if not they will likely have a lot of competition for the all-star shortstop.
Unless the Blue Jays make Bichette a very competitive offer, likely exceeding $200 million, he will likely enter free agency to see what other teams are offering.
Toronto decided to not sign Bichette during the season and will now have to deal with the consequences as the shortstop will be attracting attention from multiple teams.
