Bo Bichette Free Agent Profile 2025
Bo Bichette’s strong comeback in 2025 has positioned him as one of the top free agents this offseason. As a key player in Toronto’s lineup, his return is attractive for both parties involved. Bichette has openly expressed his desire to stay with the Blue Jays, making a reunion the most logical outcome.
Blue Jays’ Options
- General Manager Ross Atkins might consider spreading out the team’s payroll instead of committing fully to Bichette.
- An alternative free agent target is Ha-Seong Kim, who declined to return to the Atlanta Braves.
- The Blue Jays could also explore trade options or continue using Andrés Giménez, a strategy they implemented during the playoffs.
Bo Bichette on his future: “I’ve said I want to be here from the beginning.”
Potential Braves Interest
The Atlanta Braves could be a natural fit for Bichette, who would strengthen their shortstop position. In 2025, the Braves ranked last in the majors with a 59 wRC+ at shortstop. While Nick Allen provided excellent defense and played most of the games, the team clearly needs more production.
It would disappoint Blue Jays fans if former GM Alex Anthopoulos managed to sign Bichette for Atlanta. However, the Braves historically avoid high-priced free agent deals.
“The franchise record guarantee for a free agent contract remains B.J. Upton’s five-year, $75.25M contract from November of 2012.”
