Bo Bichette Reiterates Desire to Stay with Blue Jays
Bo Bichette remains committed to continuing his career with the Toronto Blue Jays. Following the team's Game 7 World Series defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night, the shortstop reaffirmed his dedication to the club that selected him in the 2016 draft.
“I’ve said I want to be here from the beginning,”
he stated after the Blue Jays’ loss.
Bichette came close to becoming a Toronto legend after hitting a three-run homer off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning, but the Dodgers’ late surge took away the Blue Jays’ championship hopes. Despite recent injuries, the 27-year-old returned to action for the World Series, transitioning from his typical shortstop position to second base to strengthen the lineup.
During the series, Bichette posted an impressive performance, going 8-for-23 with six RBIs and maintaining a .922 OPS against the Dodgers.
“I'll remember this group forever,”
“I think this group taught me what a team is. It’s probably the most valuable lesson in my career, so they mean a ton to me.”
After a challenging 2024 season marked by injury and struggles, Bichette had a strong comeback in 2025. Across 139 games, he hit .311 with 18 home runs, 94 RBIs, and 181 hits, reaffirming his place as one of Toronto’s most reliable performers.
