3 Best MLB Free Agent Fits for Bo Bichette if he Leaves The Blue Jays

Want a star shortstop entering his prime? Meet Bo Bichette.

The career Toronto Blue Jays shortstop is among the best at his position, a vibrant, right-handed hitter and a two-time All-Star. Following a seven-week absence due to a knee injury, Bichette hit .348 in Toronto's crushing, seven-game 2025 World Series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers and will be 28 at the start of the 2026 MLB season. Translation: Bo's getting a nine-figure contract this offseason.

Here are the three best fits for Bichette should he depart Toronto.

Milwaukee was third in MLB in runs (806) in the regular season but then scored just one run per game in the National League Championship Series, in what was a four-game sweep at the hands of the Dodgers. If the Brewers are ever going to get over the hump in the postseason, they have to make a concerted effort to acquire impact hitters. Bichette fits the bill.

The scrappy Bichette hits for both contact and power, logs extra-base hits at a high rate and can hit at or near the top of a contending offense. Sure, Milwaukee has a handful of internal options at shortstop, but none of them rake like Bichette. More importantly, these players have versatility; Joey Ortiz has started at both shortstop and third base; Andruw Monasterio plays shortstop, second and third base; third baseman Caleb Durbin was primarily a second baseman in the minor leagues.

Bichette would be Milwaukee's full-time shortstop for the foreseeable future and provide needed power to an offense that was just 22nd in home runs (166) and ninth out of 12 playoff teams in slugging percentage (.403) in 2025.
