Overview

  • Toronto lost 3-1 to the Dodgers in Game 6 of the World Series, pushing the series to a decisive Game 7.
  • Bichette will become a free agent after the season and acknowledged he has considered his future but said his focus is on winning the Series.
  • He sprained a ligament in his left knee on Sept. 6, missed the ALDS and ALCS, and returned for the World Series in a reduced-mobility role.
  • The Blue Jays have started him at second base for multiple World Series games, keeping Andrés Giménez at shortstop to lessen the stress on Bichette’s knee.
  • After a .311/.357/.483 regular season with 18 home runs and 94 RBIs, media projections suggest a contract in roughly the $180–189 million range, with some teams potentially viewing him as a second baseman rather than a full-time shortstop.
