Bo Bichette enters the final year of his contract with the Toronto Blue Jays after a rebound 2025 season that produced a 3.0 bWAR, 16 home runs and a league-leading 164 hits in 128 games. The 27-year-old's performance fuels interest from Toronto and other MLB teams ahead of free agency. Bichette is eligible for Brazil through his mother Mariana and is expected to be on Brazil's preliminary roster for the 2026 World Baseball Classic, with final selections after January 1. He and brother Dante previously played in 2016 qualifiers and aim to help Brazil secure its first WBC win; Brazil went 0-3 in 2013.
The star shortstop is on the last year of his contract with the Toronto Blue Jays and there is plenty of speculation on where he could wind up. Toronto fans are obviously hoping the Blue Jays can resign 27 year-old who has bounced back with an incredibly strong campaign, producing a 3.0 bWAR with 16 home runs and a league leading 164 hits in 128 games played this season, possibly putting him in contention for Comeback Player of the Year.
