"With Bo Bichette back on the roster as the Blue Jays challenge the Dodgers in the World Series, it didn't take long for him to be asked about his impending free agency. As noted by Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet, Bichette generally dismissed the question as something he doesn't have the time to think about amid a World Series run, though he did acknowledge that his "goal" is to remain with the Blue Jays for the rest of his career."
"That's not exactly new information, as Bichette has long indicated a desire to spend his whole career in a Blue Jays uniform. Bichette has previously spoken of his desire to only play for one team throughout his whole career, and the ability to do so alongside longtime teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. after Guerrero landed his own extension earlier this year surely makes the idea of sticking around in Toronto all the more appealing."
"Perhaps some discussions have taken place in the intervening months, of course, but with free agency just days away it seems all but certain that Bichette will hit the open market without signing an extension. That doesn't mean he can't be re-signed, of course, but the Blue Jays won't be the only suitor for his services once he's available to all 30 clubs"
Bo Bichette returned to the roster as the Blue Jays face the Dodgers in the World Series and downplayed questions about impending free agency while stating a goal to remain with the Blue Jays for his career. Bichette has long expressed a desire to spend his entire career with one team, and the presence of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who received a large extension, increases the appeal of staying in Toronto. No extension talks had occurred as recently as April, and with free agency imminent Bichette appears likely to hit the open market, though re-signing remains possible amid competing suitors and payroll constraints.
