Bo Bichette enters free agency as one of the most coveted middle infielders available. The 27-year-old delivered a spectacular 2025 season, posting a .311 batting average with 18 home runs, 94 RBIs, and an impressive .840 OPS across 139 games. His leadership during Toronto’s World Series run—including a three-run blast off Shohei Ohtani in Game 7—only elevated his stock further. Current projections place his market value between $182 million and $230 million on a seven to eight-year deal, with comparisons to Wil Adames serving as the baseline reference point. Bichette’s combination of elite hitting ability, relative youth, and postseason heroics makes him a generational talent worth the investment.​
