Bo Bichette remains committed to the Toronto Blue Jays despite their recent loss in Game 7 of the World Series. Following the defeat against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Bichette expressed his unwavering desire to stay with the team that drafted him in 2016. “I’ve said I want to be here from the beginning,” he stated after the game.
World Series Performance and Injuries
Bichette nearly became a Toronto World Series legend with a significant three-run home run off star pitcher Shohei Ohtani in the third inning. Unfortunately, a late-game comeback by the Dodgers overshadowed his impressive contribution, costing the Blue Jays a championship opportunity.
- World Series Game: July 2025
- Opponent: Los Angeles Dodgers
- Bichette’s World Series Stats: 8 hits in 23 at-bats

Despite being a two-time All-Star, Bichette faced challenges this season. He missed the postseason roster for the American League Division Series (ALDS) and American League Championship Series (ALCS) due to a knee injury sustained in early September. He returned just in time for the World Series, playing at second base rather than his usual shortstop position to facilitate his comeback.
Reflections on Team and Personal Growth
After the final game, Bichette reflected on his teammates. “I’ll remember this group forever,” he shared. “This team taught me what a team is. It’s probably the most valuable lesson in my career.”
