The Blue Jays are not only focused on extending Bo Bichette, as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and manager John Schneider also remain unsigned.

Reports suggest that the decision now rests with Bichette, as Toronto is interested in bringing him back on a three- to four-year deal. This approach would be logical for the team, especially if they risk losing Guerrero to free agency next offseason.

With the Blue Jays seemingly prepared to make an offer to Bo Bichette, the decision now rests with him—whether he wants to return or seek a fresh start elsewhere.

Contract extensions have become a major storyline for Toronto, putting the team in a precarious position. Without securing a long-term commitment from a young star, their future remains uncertain. Even if they aren’t prioritizing extensions right now, they must consider a long-term plan. That responsibility may now fall on Bichette’s shoulders.

To avoid a potential rebuild, the Blue Jays need to lock in at least one of Bichette or Vladimir Guerrero Jr., as replacing either through free agency would be a challenge. If they want to contend beyond a single season, Bichette becomes the logical centerpiece if Guerrero’s camp remains uncommitted.

However, Toronto hasn’t helped its case with Bichette, having reportedly shopped him in trade talks multiple times. With no negotiations yet underway, he may feel undervalued. General manager Ross Atkins must act quickly to resolve the situation, as the Blue Jays risk losing two of their top stars next season.
