Toronto Steakhouse Dangles 'Steak for Life' to Keep Bo Bichette With Blue Jays

The public pitch underscores Toronto's bid to keep the free‑agent shortstop during an active Blue Jays offseason.

Overview

  • Animl posted an Instagram open letter promising Bo Bichette free steak for life if he re‑signs, pledging "no negotiations" and a standing reservation.
  • Bichette remains unsigned after declining the Blue Jays' $22.025 million qualifying offer for 2026.
  • The restaurant referenced his past praise of Animl, which Bichette has called his favorite place to eat in Toronto.
  • Fans reacted favorably on social media with messages urging the two‑time All‑Star to stay.
  • The outreach comes as Toronto makes other moves, including a four‑year, $60 million deal for infielder Kazuma Okamoto, and there has been no public response from Bichette.
