Blue Jays will have to overpay to bring Bo Bichette back to Toronto

"I think Bo has about 10 teams knocking on his door, therefore he is going to get his money. The AL East has three or four clubs already in contact with his camp. I know that, Okay. You talked earlier about the Cincinnati Reds, they don't homer in that ballpark which is amazing. His bat plays, the injury that forced him to play second base, may have been the best things to ever happen to him. It shows his versatility, he can play short and second, he's going to get his money. That .311 batting average doesn't hurt either."

"«This team is ready to win for the next few years. Were not talking about taking steps backwards. So if you're already in that deep payroll wise, you almost have to bring Bo Bichette back and you almost have to overpay, that's going to be how that goes... that's how I feel."

"I don't know. I kinda say no. The only reason he goes back is because of the loyalty to the team, and he's not going to take a discount for that. So I think what's happened now with Bo is him coming back in the world series and playing on that bad leg made some money for him.
