Major Offseason Moves for the Toronto Blue Jays
After a tough loss in the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Toronto Blue Jays face a pivotal offseason. One significant development has already occurred: pitcher Shane Bieber chose to exercise his $16 million option for the next season, staying with the Blue Jays. Bieber was acquired before the trade deadline from the Cleveland Guardians, and his decision came as a surprise but secured a top-tier starter for Toronto’s 2026 rotation.
Uncertainty Surrounding Bo Bichette's Future
The Blue Jays must also make important choices regarding their star shortstop, Bo Bichette. Injured in early September, Bichette missed the remainder of the regular season but returned for the World Series, playing through pain without being fully recovered. He expressed a strong desire to stay with Toronto after the series ended.
Predicted Contract and Position Change
Bo Bichette is expected to sign a lucrative new contract. Mike Axisa from CBS Sports forecasts that Bichette will return to the Blue Jays on an eight-year deal worth $250 million. This deal may include a position change for Bichette in the upcoming season.
"Axisa has Bichette returning to Toronto next season on an eight-year, $250 million contract."
Author's summary: The Blue Jays secure Shane Bieber for 2026 and face a crucial decision on Bo Bichette, who aims to re-sign with a major contract possibly involving a position change.
