  • Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins offered little detail on the club’s contact with Bichette and declined to say when they last spoke, according to Sportsnet’s Ben Nicholson-Smith.
  • After a down 2024, Bichette produced a .311/.357/.483 line with 18 home runs over 139 games in 2025, reinforcing his value in free agency.
