Bo Bichette Reiterates Desire to Stay with Blue Jays After Game 7 Loss

Bo Bichette reaffirmed his commitment to remaining with the Toronto Blue Jays despite their heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series on Saturday night. When asked about his upcoming free agency, he once again expressed loyalty to the team that drafted him in 2016.

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

Bichette came close to becoming a Toronto legend after launching a three-run homer off Shohei Ohtani in the third inning, but a late Dodgers rally dashed the Blue Jays' championship hopes. The 27-year-old, a two-time All-Star, had missed earlier postseason rounds due to a knee injury suffered in September. He returned for the World Series, moving from shortstop to second base to rejoin the lineup.

Across the seven-game series, Bichette performed well, going 8-for-23 with six RBIs and posting a .922 OPS. After the loss, he reflected on the season and his teammates.

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

Comeback Season

Following a difficult 2024 season marked by injuries and inconsistency, Bichette rebounded in 2025 with a strong regular-season performance. Over 139 games, he hit .311/.357/.483 with 18 home runs, 94 RBIs, and 181 hits, cementing his place as a cornerstone player for Toronto.
