Bo Bichette Reports No Extension Talks With Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette confirmed that he and the organization have not engaged in any discussions regarding a contract extension as he approaches free agency after the 2025 season. Bichette, whose performance suffered in 2024 due to injuries, expressed a desire to remain with the Blue Jays, stating that he hopes to have the opportunity to stay with the organization for his entire career. He emphasized his focus on helping the team win this season, while noting his friendship with teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr., with whom he shares aspirations of playing together long-term. The Blue Jays' management appears to be prioritizing Guerrero's contract talks over Bichette's, complicating Bichette's future with the team. Despite last year's struggles, Bichette remains a key player for the franchise, having established himself as one of the league's top shortstops prior to his injury-plagued season. As the team navigates contract negotiations, both players' futures could hinge on the outcomes of Guerrero's talks with the organization.
