Bo Bichette reiterates desire to stay with Blue Jays after Game 7 loss

Bo Bichette Commits to Staying with Blue Jays After Game 7 Loss

Bo Bichette remains firm in his intention to continue playing for Toronto. Following the Blue Jays' defeat in Game 7 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night, Bichette was asked about his upcoming free agency. True to his consistent stance, he expressed loyalty to the team that drafted him in 2016.

“I’ve said I want to be here from the beginning,”

During the World Series, Bichette almost became a Toronto hero after hitting a three-run homer off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning. However, a late rally by the Dodgers ended both his and the Blue Jays' hopes of winning the championship. Although he is typically a shortstop, Bichette played second base in the series to facilitate his return from a knee injury sustained in early September, which kept him off the postseason roster for the ALDS and ALCS rounds.

In the World Series, Bichette hit 8-for-23 with six RBIs and posted a .922 OPS against the Dodgers.

“I'll remember this group forever. I think this group taught me what a team is. I think it's probably the most valuable lesson in my career, so they mean a ton to me.”

After struggling in 2024 due to injury and inconsistent performance, Bichette rebounded strongly in the 2025 regular season. Over 139 games, he posted a .311/.357/.483 slash line with 18 home runs, 94 RBIs, and 181 hits.

Summary: Bo Bichette expresses unwavering loyalty to the Blue Jays despite a tough World Series loss, highlighting his growth and team commitment after overcoming injury setbacks.
