Bo Bichette predicted to betray Blue Jays, sign with AL East rival in MLB free agency originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
It seems like the Toronto Blue Jays are all-in on signing some of the top players on the free-agency market, already showing that by giving Vladimir Guerrero Jr. an in-season extension worth $500 million.

To follow that up, the Blue Jays handed out a seven-year, $210 million contract to right-hander Dylan Cease.
It’ll be interesting to see what the Blue Jays’ plan is for the remainder of free agency, but it certainly feels like the organization is all-in.
Whether that means bringing Bo Bichette back is one thing, but the Blue Jays will do what they have to do to ensure they can get back to another World Series.
If Bichette were to walk, which some believe could happen, including Pete Caldera of NJ.com, there might be a fit with another AL East team.

The Boston Red Sox.
“If Alex Bregman signs elsewhere, could see Bichette moving to third base at Fenway Park,” he wrote.
From the same outlet, Andrew Tredinnick doesn’t believe Bichette will leave the Blue Jays in free agency, stating that the organization has already done a lot this winter and is trying to prove that it wants to win it.
“Defending American League champions proved they’re all-in by bringing in Dylan Cease. They keep this core piece, as well,” he added.

If there’s one thing for certain, whether Bichette walks or not, the Blue Jays are in a very good spot moving forward.
If they bring back the shortstop, that outlook only gets better.
