Bo Bichette Free Agent Profile: Contract Prediction, Best Fits, Stats
Bo Bichette’s return to form in 2025 sets the stage for an intriguing offseason, where the star shortstop could land one of the most lucrative contracts. As a proven performer in Toronto and a core part of their lineup, both sides have reasons to continue the partnership. Bichette himself has expressed a clear desire to stay, making a reunion with the Blue Jays a logical outcome.
If Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins chooses to diversify the team’s expenditures, alternatives in free agency include Ha-Seong Kim, who recently opted out of returning to the Braves. The team might also explore trades or rely on Andrés Giménez, who played in that role during the playoffs.
Bo Bichette on his future: “I’ve said I want to be here from the beginning.”
Potential Fit with the Braves
Considering the Braves, Bichette could be an ideal candidate for their shortstop position, which ranked last in the majors in 2025 with a 59 wRC+. Nick Allen, who had most of the playing time and strong defense, was not enough to meet the team's needs.
For Blue Jays fans, it would be disappointing if Alex Anthopoulos, their former general manager, managed to acquire Bichette for Atlanta. However, the Braves are traditionally reluctant to sign high-value free agents. Their franchise record for a free agent contract remains B.J. Upton’s five-year, $75.25 million deal from 2012.
Summary
Bo Bichette’s strong 2025 season positions him for major contract talks, with Toronto favored for a reunion but Atlanta also showing potential interest despite a conservative free agent strategy.
