TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have extended a qualifying offer to star infielder Bo Bichette, the Major League Baseball club announced Thursday.
Bichette has until Nov. 18 to accept the offer.
By extending the qualifying offer, the Blue Jays will get a draft pick in compensation if Bichette signs elsewhere in free agency.
Bichette is coming off a stellar 2025 campaign that saw him bat .311 and finish tied for second in the majors with 181 hits despite missing the final three weeks of the regular season with a knee sprain.
