After the Jays secured one franchise cornerstone—Vladimir Guerrero Jr.—to an eye-watering deal, the future of Bo Bichette looks bleak. And sure, it sounds shocking that Toronto might part ways with one of its most consistent forces, but the buzz around the league is getting louder. And here is the kicker—the Los Angeles Dodgers might be waiting for him.

Bo has been clear- he wants to remain in Toronto. But insiders like Jim Bowden think the feeling is not mutual from the Jays’ end. And there is an alarming reason for it!

Jays, according to Bowden, is cautious about committing long-term money after multiple lower-body injuries. Jim Bowden says, “Several interested teams view him as an option for third base going forward.” That shift says a lot; the Jays might not be building around Bichette any longer. Plus, Bowden even named the Dodgers as the plausible landing spot.

Honestly, the Dodgers circle stars like sharks—so that’s not far from the realm of possibility.

Bichette sure had a poor last season, but this time his numbers are elite. .311 average, 44 doubles, 18 home runs, and 94 RBIs. This is before a knee sprain cut his regular season short. But he even returned in time for the World Series.

For the LA Dodgers, they have much to gain.

They get a versatile hitter, somehow, who is just 27 years old, so he is entering his prime. Bichette could command a deal that’s around the $175-$180 million range, something that’s comparable to Dansby Swanson or Marcus Semien.

So, where does that leave Toronto?

Probably at a crossroads. Because that would just change the course this winter, they could lose one of the most productive bats. Not to mention, a fan favorite. In fact, Bichette was put on the bench by John Schneider, and that earned the Jays’ backlash after the Game loss.

So, no surprise that the Jays are calling someone back again.

Bo Bichette—Might Be Toronto’s X-Factor in Game 3

The World Series is shifting coasts, and now the light shines brighter in Dodger Stadium. Both the Toronto Blue Jays and the Dodgers have won one game each at Toronto, and after a travel break, it’s three straight nights of baseball drama in LA. And while the Game 3 lineup is not locked in completely, one thing is for certain—Bo Bichette is back.

Except not in the place where everyone is used to seeing him.

For the second time in his MLB career, Bichette will start at second base and not as a shortstop. It’s a different site for Jays fans, but given the fanbase wanted him, it’s better than nothing, right?

Bo Bichette had made a comeback in Game 1, his first appearance since his injury. He didn’t play the full nine innings that night, but whatever brief appearance he made, he sparked energy through the crowd.

Then in Game 2, John Schneider stuck to his plan and rested Bichette. He came in the seventh inning as a pinch hitter and stayed at second for the rest of the game, and he looked smooth. Because let’s be honest, Bichette’s bat is too important to be kept out of the lineup.

Even after missing nearly a month due to injury, he still ranked second in hits and doubles and tied for first in batting average. Now, as Dodgers pitching awaits, Toronto needs every bit of that offense to keep the WS plans alive.
