Blue Jays favourites to sign Bichette, Yankees and Braves headline chase pack

Blue Jays Favourites to Re-Sign Bichette

The Toronto Blue Jays have opened as -230 favourites on FanDuel to retain Bo Bichette, a figure translating to a 69.7% implied probability. After falling just two outs short of their first World Series title since 1993, the team's focus has turned toward securing their star shortstop’s future.

Bichette has now spent seven years with the Blue Jays, evolving into one of Major League Baseball’s most productive offensive players at his position. Earlier this year, his close teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. inked a record-breaking 14-year, $500 million extension to stay in Toronto. Bichette now faces his own major contract decision as he enters free agency.

“I’ve said I want to be here from the beginning,” Bichette remarked Saturday night after the Game 7 defeat.

Despite missing the final month of the season due to a left knee injury, Bichette enjoyed one of his most consistent years at the plate, posting a .311 batting average, .357 on-base percentage, and .483 slugging percentage, with 18 home runs and 94 RBIs over 139 games. He returned for Game 1 of the World Series, hitting .348 with six RBIs across the seven-game series.

Summary

After a near World Series win, Toronto aims to lock in Bo Bichette’s future as he enters free agency following another strong season despite injury setbacks.
