With the 2025 season ending in a heartbreaking loss at the World Series, Toronto — which seemed to be in decline — is now “reviving strongly,” with the prospect of a blockbuster re-signing of Bo Bichette, according to recent analysis.
Bo, the Blue Jays’ top offensive star, has always expressed a desire to continue his association with Toronto — where he has been developing since 2016.
It’s not just a sentimental affair: with a 2025 season that marks a .311 AVG, 18 homers and 94 RBI, plus an .840 OPS — Bo remains one of the most dangerous weapons in the AL this year.
The Blue Jays leadership knows that if they keep Bo, they keep a rare “offensive pillar” — someone who can form a nightmare duo with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for any pitcher.
With experts saying “Bo’s agreement + Toronto’s demand = perfect opportunity to explode,” many believe the long-term contract could reach $400 million — making Bo one of the biggest infield contracts ever.
In the 2025 season, Bo had to overcome a serious knee injury — which kept him out for more than a month and a half.
But his return for the final series and the World Series showed his steely resolve: he was willing to contribute, willing to endure pain to carry the faith of the entire city.
With Bo remaining a free agent after this season, everyone is focusing on one choice: Renew Bo — or accept losing the pillar and restarting the offensive plan.
Some analysts have even suggested that if Bo leaves, Toronto could look to names like Kyle Tucker — but to replace him at full strength, that’s no easy task.
As for Bo, there are rumors that he still prefers to stay in Toronto — where he grew up, matured, and spent his entire career.
But with the open free market, there are plenty of contenders willing to sign him. If a re-signing goes through at a huge number, it won’t just solve the Jays’ offensive problem — it will also be a tacit statement: “We’re back, stronger.”
After the disappointment of the World Series, a major rebuild or consolidation phase is opening up. The Blue Jays, with Bo Bichette + Guerrero + the current staff, could become a contender that any team has to watch in the AL next season.
