Bo Bichette enters free agency for the first time this offseason, attracting significant interest after a strong 2025 season. At 27 years old, Bichette posted a .311 batting average with a .357 on-base percentage and a .483 slugging percentage. He contributed 18 home runs, 94 RBIs, and struck out only 91 times.
Despite missing the final month of the season, Bichette finished second in the American League with 181 hits and holds a career batting average of .294. He battled through a knee injury in the postseason but appeared in all seven World Series games, delivering a .348/.444/.478 slash line, highlighted by a crucial home run in Game 7.
Although Bichette has spent his entire career at shortstop, defensive struggles in 2025 suggest he will likely move positions. He finished the year with -13 outs above average and -11 defensive runs saved, ranking last among MLB shortstops. Teams signing him will value his hitting and look to transition him to second or third base.
Though it seemed certain throughout 2025 that Bichette’s time with the Toronto Blue Jays was ending, there remains a possibility of his return after the dramatic conclusion of the World Series. However, a change of scenery appears more likely as he explores new opportunities this offseason.
Bo Bichette’s powerful bat makes him a prized free agent likely to shift positions, with multiple teams considering signing the All-Star after his impressive 2025 season.
