Bo Bichette is entering free agency for the first time in his career, drawing heavy attention from several Major League Baseball teams. As one of the league’s premier contact hitters, his next move has become a compelling storyline for the offseason.
The Toronto Blue Jays remain the leading contenders to re-sign Bichette, though other clubs are not far behind according to the latest odds. Market shifts are expected in the coming weeks as teams position themselves for a potential bid.
Bichette was drafted by Toronto in the second round of the 2016 amateur draft, just two picks after Pete Alonso. He made his MLB debut in 2019 and quickly impressed with a .311/.358/.571 slash line, hitting 11 home runs in 46 games.
Over seven seasons, Bichette has compiled a career average of .294 with 111 home runs, 60 stolen bases, and a .469 slugging percentage across 748 games. He has twice led the American League in hits (2021, 2022) and earned two All-Star selections.
Injuries impacted his 2024 season, limiting him to 81 games and a .225 average with four home runs. However, Bichette rebounded strongly in 2025, revitalizing his market value ahead of free agency.
“The Blue Jays are the betting favorites to retain his services, but several teams are relatively close on the odds board.”
As Bo Bichette hits free agency, the Blue Jays lead the chase, but the competitive field ensures his next destination remains one of baseball’s most intriguing off-season stories.
