If I told you a year ago that the Blue Jays were going to give up two contracts in 2025 that were more than George Springer's ($150 million) … but neither of them were going to be for Bo Bichette, what would you have said?
What friend is already leaving?
However, we live in a world where the Blue Jays gave up $500 million to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and $210 million to Dylan Cease, but the club still won't want to give up Bichette.
This is a question many people are asking, and the answer is clear: yes, Bichette is (more than ever) a target for the Queen City in free agency.
When general managers' meetings concluded a few weeks ago, Scott Boras said of the Blue Jays, “When you become a winning team, the players take notice.”
This appears to have happened after one of his top football coaches, Dylan Keyes, agreed to a 7-year, $210 million contract with the Jays, pending a physical: https://t.co/874hH9gzcK

In fact, the Blue Jays always intended to use the vast financial resources of Rogers (a company with cash a lot) to sign a pitcher and draft a hitter.
And the fact that Keys got more money faster than expected (were the Blue Jays tired of losing to guys and decided to dump a ton of money quickly?) doesn't change things for Bichette.
In fact, it definitely won't hurt Bichette's case. We don't know exactly what he's looking for, but he can't think that returning to Toronto will hurt his chances of one day winning a ring. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
We don't know what his criteria are, but if money is on the line, it's entirely possible that La Biche will return to a club designed to maximize Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s golden years.
At this point, one might wonder whether the contract offered to Chaz could hurt the Blue Jays' chances of signing Kyle Tucker, who would be eligible for a larger contract than Bo Bichette. This is a legitimate question.
But for Bichette, Sis' contract is not a negative thing.
