Bo Bichette Reaffirms Commitment to the Blue Jays
Bo Bichette remains determined to continue his career in Toronto. After the Blue Jays lost Game 7 of the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, Bichette was asked about his upcoming free agency. Staying loyal to the team that drafted him in 2016, he emphasized,
“I’ve said I want to be here from the beginning.”
Performance and Impact in the World Series
Bichette nearly became a Toronto hero by hitting a three-run homer off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning of Game 7. However, a late Dodgers rally dashed his and the Blue Jays' hopes of winning the championship. He finished the World Series hitting 8-for-23 with six RBIs and a .922 OPS against the Dodgers.
Injury and Position Change
A two-time All-Star, Bichette was absent from Toronto's ALDS and ALCS postseason rosters while recovering from a knee injury suffered in early September. He returned for the World Series, playing second base instead of his usual shortstop position to ease his comeback.
Reflections on Team and Season
“I'll remember this group forever. I think this group taught me what a team is. I think it's probably the most valuable lesson in my career, so they mean a ton to me.”
After a challenging 2024 marked by injury and inconsistent performance, Bichette rebounded in 2025 with a strong regular season. Over 139 games, he posted a slash line of .311/.357/.483 with 18 home runs, 94 RBIs, and 181 hits.
Bo Bichette's loyalty and resilience highlight his importance to the Blue Jays' present and future ambitions.
