Overview

  • MLB reporter Mark Feinsand has identified the Braves and Tigers as potential suitors for Bichette in free agency.
  • Bichette has reestablished his value in 2025, leading the AL in hits with a .298/.341/.465 line, 16 home runs and 82 RBIs in 125 games.
  • Toronto extended Vladimir Guerrero Jr. last offseason but did not lock up Bichette long term.
  • Newsweek’s analysis notes the Blue Jays could struggle to match a top-market offer given broader roster needs.
