Bo Bichette Destinations: Best Landing Spots for All-Star Shortstop in Free Agency

Bo Bichette enters free agency for the first time this offseason, following a strong 2025 campaign. At 27 years old, he is expected to attract considerable interest from multiple teams.

2025 Season Performance

Bichette posted a .311 batting average with a .357 on-base percentage and a .483 slugging percentage.
He recorded 18 home runs and 94 RBIs, with only 91 strikeouts.
Despite missing the final month of the season, he finished second in the American League with 181 hits.
He holds a career .294 batting average.

Postseason and World Series Impact

Although he missed much of the postseason due to a knee injury, Bichette played through the pain during the World Series, participating in all seven games.

"He slashed .348/.444/.478 in the World Series, which included a massive Game 7 home run."

Defensive Concerns and Position Change

Bichette has played shortstop his entire career but is expected to move to a different position due to defensive struggles.

He finished 2025 with -13 outs above average, ranking last among MLB shortstops.
His defensive runs saved were also the lowest among shortstops at -11.

Teams interested in signing him are likely to focus on his offensive abilities while hoping to transition him to second or third base.

Potential Teams and Future Outlook

For most of 2025, it was assumed Bichette’s tenure with the Toronto Blue Jays would end after the season.

"While it may not be likely that the two-time All-Star returns to Toronto, I think there might be a chance after how the World Series ended."

Four teams are considered potential suitors to sign Bichette during this offseason's free-agent market.

Bo Bichette is a valuable offensive player facing a position transition, with multiple teams interested in capitalizing on his bat in free agency.
