Blue Jays Bo Bichette Sets MLB Hits Record Amid Contract Uncertainty

Bo Bichette has been a standout performer for the Toronto Blue Jays during the 2025 season, setting a franchise record with hits in nine consecutive at-bats and leading the majors in hits with 130, surpassing Aaron Judge. Despite his strong offensive output, including a 10-game hitting streak and a batting average around .295, Bichette remains in the final year of his contract with uncertain extension talks, as the Blue Jays prefer to delay negotiations until the offseason. Fans recently criticized Bichette for a controversial swing in a close game against the Baltimore Orioles, viewing it as selfish given the game situation. His impressive performance this year, including 13 home runs and 65 RBIs, has intensified discussions about his long-term value, especially after teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. secured a massive 14-year extension. While Bichette’s defense has had inconsistencies, his offensive production positions him as one of the most intriguing free agents in upcoming years. Toronto’s management appears willing to let Bichette boost his value through continued excellence before committing to a new contract.
