"Right now, the Blue Jays would be crazy not to give Bichette an above market deal to bring him back for the long haul, but the closer they get to the end of the season without a contract extension, the closer Blue Jays fans have to get with the reality that Bo could have 29 other suitors lining up for his services."
""I'm a little surprised he hasn't gotten the long-term extension he deserves... You have to build around [Vladdy], and the best guy to do it with is the shortstop."@Kurkjian_ESPN on why the #BlueJays should lock up Bo Bichette with @SNJeffBlair & Kevin Barker.#LightsUpLetsGo pic.twitter.com/pbCJiJttaA- Sportsnet 590 The FAN (@FAN590) September 4, 2025"
"Giménez certainly doesn't have the bat, this year, to matchup with the production of Bichette, but again, if Bichette chooses to leave, Giménez is already in the system and can slide over."
Bo Bichette has an expiring contract and ranks among league leaders in hits, batting average, and RBIs, positioning him as a top free agent this winter. The Blue Jays face pressure to offer an above-market long-term extension to retain him amid potential interest from many teams. Andrés Giménez, the incumbent second baseman on a $100 million contract, offers the defensive ability to move to shortstop but does not match Bichette's offensive production this year. A move of Giménez to shortstop would create a second-base vacancy that could be filled internally or by available targets such as KBO infielder Sung-Mun Song.
