Bo Bichette will definitely want to be back in the playoffs. After all, he'll want to help his club win in October, something he's never been able to do before, as he's hungry for victories.
But by coming back, he'd also be showing that he's healthy and can be a factor in October. That would help him as a free agent.
Right now, no one is closing the door on Bichette signing a new contract in Toronto. But at the same time, everyone is aware that he will be in demand on the independent market.
And on that subject, a few MLB journalists are asking us to keep an eye on the Tigers.
Bo Bichette might be the most interesting free agent on the market this winter.
What's going to happen with the #BlueJays‘ star shortstop?

Of course, there will be money involved. But as some clubs might be afraid of his injuries, it's possible to believe that the Tigers could have a competitive offer.
We're talking about a club that was prepared to pay a fair amount for Alex Bregman last winter. Surely, Bichette could also have an interesting profile for the Tigers.
And besides the money?
Bichette could be interested in signing with one of the AHL's top clubs. The Tigers also have an excellent manager who helps them be credible on the free-agent market.
Of course, the Yankees, Dodgers, Blue Jays, Braves and other such clubs will be in the Tigers' sights… and it's important to bear in mind that not every player will want to move to Michigan.
But if Bichette believes in the club's game plan and the right offer is on the table, anything is possible.
