Overview

  • Bo Bichette's subpar performance this season, including a .275 average and .716 OPS, has fueled trade discussions as his free agency looms.
  • The Blue Jays are nearing the luxury tax threshold, complicating potential roster moves and limiting financial flexibility.
  • General Manager Ross Atkins has expressed a desire to keep Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. together, but the team's playoff contention will shape their trade deadline strategy.
  • The Yankees and Braves have been linked as potential suitors for Bichette, with both teams reportedly exploring trade scenarios.
  • While Bichette has shown signs of improvement after a difficult 2024 season, the Blue Jays' recent struggles in the standings may push them to consider a trade.
