Blue Jays Extend Qualifying Offer to Bo Bichette
The Toronto Blue Jays extended a $22.025 million qualifying offer to star shortstop Bo Bichette on Thursday, according to the team. Bichette can either accept the offer and return to Toronto for the 2026 season or decline it and officially become a free agent. If Bichette declines and signs with another team this offseason, the Blue Jays would receive draft-pick compensation. The 27-year-old two-time All-Star had a bounce-back season for the Jays in 2025 and came just short of helping the team win their first World Series championship in over 30 years. He hit .311/.357/.483 with an .840 OPS, 18 home runs, 94 RBI, 78 runs, and four steals in 139 regular-season games. A knee sprain in early September knocked him out until the World Series, where he went 8-for-23 with a homer and six RBI in seven games. The expectation is that Bichette will turn down the qualifying offer and hit the open market.
