What will the Blue Jays do with Bo Bichette?<\/p>\n
The Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> have done a good mix of heavy lifting and strengthening depth this winter. However, MLB<\/a>\u2018s runner-up in the World Series is expected to have at least one more big move in them this offseason. They have been linked to a reunion with Bo Bichette<\/a>. Toronto has also been linked (in one fashion or another) to Kyle Tucker<\/a>, Alex Bregman<\/a>, Ketel Marte<\/a>, and Kazuma Okamoto, to name a few.<\/p>\n While they consider a massive swing on a big bat, they have also nibbled around the edges. They have signed pitching prospects with exciting fastball velocity<\/a> and solid potential<\/a>. The Blue Jays have also added power hitters<\/a>, aggressive defenders<\/a>, and at least one clutch slugger<\/a>. These moves might not appear to be of significant consequence, but they are long-term investments designed to prolong the organization\u2019s success.<\/p>\n With Christmas Day in the rearview, one MLB insider had a dose of good news<\/a> for the Blue Jays to savor like their favorite holiday drink.<\/p>\n Toronto Blue Jays Predicted to Land Two-Out-Of-Three Big Bats<\/p>\n One of the most prominent MLB insiders has predicted that the Blue Jays aren\u2019t done making big moves. Jon Heyman of the New York Post has tabbed Toronto as the second-biggest winner of the offseason so far, with their additions of Dylan Cease<\/a>, Cody Ponce<\/a>, Tyler Rogers<\/a>, and what they are poised to do on the position player market.<\/p>\n \u201cThey made the biggest deal (Dylan Cease, $210 million, seven years),\u201d Heyman wrote on December 25th, 2025<\/a>. \u201cFurther enhanced the rotation with Korean star Cody Ponce ($30M, three years) and added reliable reliever\u00a0Tyler Rogers ($37M). What\u2019s more, their biggest move may be yet to come.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re linked to the No. 1 free agent, Kyle Tucker, and they\u2019re considering either Bo Bichette or Alex Bregman. They must have enjoyed their World Series foray as much as we did.\u201d<\/p>\n This is curious phrasing for Heyman. The first takeaway is that they are virtual locks to secure Tucker, and that Toronto will pick up one of Bichette or Bregman.<\/p>\n Blue Jays Still Connected to Other Free Agent Bats<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t stop at Tucker, Bichette, and Bregman for the Blue Jays. They are still connected to Okamoto, whose 45-day window is closing soon.<\/p>\n According to Heyman, the Boston Red Sox<\/a> are looking to take a dip into the free agent pool \u2014 which could spoil Toronto\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve made 10 trades but are one of two teams yet to sign a free agent, along with Colorado,\u201d Heyman wrote in the same article as above. \u201cSonny Gray<\/a> is the starter they needed, and Willson Contreras<\/a> is a nice middle-of-the-order add after missing on Schwarber and Alonso.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf they can bring back Bregman, sign Bichette, or add Ketel Marte, they catapult up.\u201d<\/p>\n Red Sox & Blue Jays Hunting Same Big Bats<\/p>\n In a different article, Heyman connects the Red Sox to another free agent who has yet to make a decision.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Red Sox are also considering Bo Bichette, Kazuma Okamoto, and Ketel Marte,\u201d Heyman wrote in another December 25th article<\/a>. \u201cThe Pirates, Angels, Jays, D-Backs, and Cubs are among others interested in Okamoto.\u201d<\/p>\n Not a lot has been written about the Blue Jays\u2019 interest in Okamoto. The connection makes sense, primarily because Okamoto is grouped with Bichette and Bregman on the free agent market.<\/p>\n However, they will face a lot of competition, as the Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a>, Los Angeles Angels<\/a>, Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a>, and Chicago Cubs<\/a> are also interested.<\/p>\n What\u2019s Going on With Kyle Tucker?<\/p>\n Not much has been said of Tucker for at least a week. Some in the industry believe that the Blue Jays make the most sense and that an agreement will come soon.<\/p>\n While Blue Jays fans wait on bated breath for a resolution, Heyman dropped an interesting twist in the Tucker saga.<\/p>\n \u201cTop free agent Tucker was linked weeks ago to the Jays, but his free agency mostly remains a mystery,\u201d Heyman revealed.<\/p>\n The fact that his free agency \u201cmostly remains a mystery\u201d is another case of interesting phrasing. It\u2019s possible that Tucker\u2019s camp has gathered all the information they want and is focused on mulling things over before coming to a decision.<\/p>\n One thing that could be under consideration, is a short term deal. Paul Hembekides of ESPN revealed that a two year or four year deal<\/a> could be in the cards for Tucker.<\/p>\n What Do Tucker, Bichette, Bregman, and Okamoto Bring to the Plate?<\/p>\n Tucker did well for the Cubs in 2025. In 136 games<\/a>, he landed 133 hits, 73 RBIs, 22 home runs, and 25 stolen bases.<\/p>\n Bichette played in 139 games with the Blue Jays, connecting on 181 hits, 94 RBIs<\/a>, 18 home runs, and four stolen bases. Bregman connected on 118 hits, 62 RBIs, 18 home runs<\/a>, and one stolen base in 114 games.<\/p>\n
