The Blue Jays finished just fourth in the American League East standings in 2021 and missed the postseason, but Bichette and Semien managed to stand out. They both earned All-Star nods that season. Semien, however, left in the offseason, declining a qualifying offer from Toronto before signing a seven-year deal with the Texas Rangers.
A top MLB insider reportedly views the Philadelphia Phillies as the favorites to sign infielder Bo Bichette in free agency.
After the New York Mets swung and missed on free out outfielder Kyle Tucker, the front office pivoted to a new splashy signing: Bo Bichette.
