The Atlanta Braves are believed to be going all in to secure a top Blue Jays slugger this offseason. Atlanta was linked to several free-agent targets, but they seem to have locked their eyes on a future free agent. The team is eager to make the playoffs and is looking for a strong comeback in 2025.
The Blue Jays are in a tough spot as they need to choose between two future free-agent sluggers. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette will hit the free-agent market after the 2025 season. Toronto can either choose one slugger due to the financial situation. That said, they will try to retain Guerrero and trade Bichette.
The Blue Jays will reap the benefits if they trade Bichette before he becomes a free agent. The Braves have emerged as a perfect landing spot to secure a deal. The latest rumors state the Blue Jays will secure a whooping eight-figure deal for Bichette.
The proposed deal is said to be $33,000,000 for the young slugger. Orlando Arcia had a slumping season in 2023 at shortstop, and Bichette would be a better fit.
Cam Caminiti Set To Be A Part Of The Braves And Blue Jays Deal
The Blue Jays will miss one of their best sluggers and need to find a strong shortstop to replace Bichette. It’s a high price and a risk that they might be willing to take. Yet, they will need something more from Atlanta.
Atlanta has a solid two-way player who can be a part of their bargain in this multiplayer deal. Cam Caminiti can play in the outfield, and his pitching will be something to look forward to. Finding two-way players is a huge deal, and the Blue Jays might consider a trade instead of losing Bichette to free agency.

Furthermore, the Blue Jays might not be able to both Guerrero and Bichette. Guerrero turned down the team’s $340 million offer. It’s hard to imagine the Blue Jays being a top playoff team without Guerrero. Hence, they will go all in to retain Vladdy and trade Bichette. On the other hand, Jack Flaherty’s trade rumors are heating up.
