Why the Bo Bichette extension was a win for both sides
. But before you get ahead of yourselves, let me shut you down — no, it’s not the mega-extension fans have been hoping for.
To understand Bichette, though, you’ve got to rewind a touch further. Last spring, Bichette, a pre-arbitration player, was eligible for a slight raise for 2022 which would’ve increased his salary from $706,200 to $723,550. He turned down the $23,550 pay bump. That’s why it’s a big deal the two parties came to an agreement at all. Bichette has been more headstrong than the average player during negotiations — as he should, it’s his right — putting the Blue Jays in a potentially difficult spot. This reported three-year extension gives Bichette an early payday and proves the two sidesfind some common ground, an important element to remember as talks on a super-extension ramp up.
