Blue Jays seem to be parting ways with Bo Bichette #bluejays #mlb

The Toronto Blue Jays are set to make quite a few changes heading into the 2025 season as multiple players including Bo Bichette will likely not be returning.

After this terribly disappointing season in Toronto, the Blue Jays will likely have a very different roster next season as the one they currently have is not good enough to actually compete for a World Series.
One of the biggest players they seem to be parting ways with is shortstop Bo Bichette who had a rough season all around between struggling at the plate and being injured quite a bit.
Despite Bichette stating that he wants to stay in Toronto and win a World Series with Guerrero, it looks like the Blue Jays have different plans for him.
All along, it has felt like the Blue Jays were either going to extend Guerrero or Bichette. There was a point where it felt like both could land new contracts, but now things are leaning much more toward the former than the latter. So, we're saying Bichette gets traded this offseason.

Poor results be damned, there are bound to be multiple competitive teams out there that feel like they'll be the ones to "fix" Bichette. Since he'll be a pure rental heading into next year, a team like the Dodgers makes a ton of sense on paper. -Treuden

Another shocking move will be Spencer Horwitz likely being traded after an incredible rookie season. Horwitz was a machine at the plate for the Blue Jays this season but do to his lack of skill at second base, they will end up trying to move him this off-season since he does not fit in their plans moving forward.
Since Guerrero is the long-term figure at first base, Horwitz will be stuck playing second base or DH'ing moving forward. Ask anyone who has watched him play second base at the big league level, he's not cut out to play there full-time. That's not meant to disrespect Horwitz, who played the position at a perfectly decent clip, but he pales in comparison to nearly every other second base-capable option in the organization.
