The Blue Jays owe Giménez $84 million over the next four years, so they’d have the most expensive infield ever assembled if they added a quarter-billion-dollar commitment for Bichette to the half-billion they already owe Guerrero.

The Blue Jays led the majors with the lowest strikeout rate (17.8%) of any team over the past eight seasons -- and lowered that number to 17.1% in the postseason, the lowest by a playoff team that played at least three games since the 2014 San Francisco Giants.
