Shortly after one of baseball’s most memorable bat flips, Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette entered free agency following his team’s Game 7 World Series defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bichette is expected to attract a lucrative contract on the open market.
However, he isn’t the only significant player in the American League East hitting free agency this season, nor are the Blue Jays alone in facing critical roster decisions. Every AL East team, including the last-place Baltimore Orioles, has at least one free agent they must prioritize re-signing.
Some of these players, like Bichette, are established All-Stars with the talent to push their teams toward a championship. Others, although less well-known, consistently deliver dependable performances and have solid track records.
