Bo Bichette's 2023 Expectations For The Blue Jays | The Interview Room

but we said he's a very special hitter, the American League's hit leader in each of the last two seasons. Mo has unique power everywhere on the field. He's not a big guy, he's not Aaron Judge, he's not Mike Trout, but he's small when he swings. He throws that he swings with complete conviction, hits again, what kind of Magic Ride is this Toronto Blue Jays man? He has reached an agreement with Boba Shett on a three-year contract worth US$33.6 million avoiding arbitration. What will that type of finances have? and job security, what will that allow you to do to help you on your journey towards your ultimate goal?

Well, first of all, I think it's good to be on the same page as the club. Everyone moves forward together and everyone is on the same page in trying. to win as many games as we can accomplish as much as we can, for me, I mean, I think any time you remove uncertainty from your life, I think it allows you to focus more on the president, so I think that's where I'm at. deep right field, curled, got the wall, went, oh, starts the eighth with his fourth home run of the season and this place is lit up.

I had the great pleasure of covering you in the major leagues these past few years, correct me. Yes, I'm wrong, but he seems a bit of a perfectionist to me, which isn't a bad thing, I guess as a professional athlete, but when you play a really hard sport like baseball, I imagine you have to strive to be perfect, what's that been like? the way you dealt with the ups and downs these last few years, how has that changed? Yeah, well, I think I've learned that being a perfectionist is okay as long as you don't really expect perfection. um, interesting when you play, so I'm I always strive to be as perfect as possible and consistent and all that, but I think if you expect perfection, I guess you lose it, you go a little crazy because it's just impossible, but I've learned . that I cannot expect perfection, but I can strive for it.

The Blue Jays are on their last strike line toward center. Rodríguez is there and that is the game. The Mariners sweep the Blue Jays in the wild card series, pushing them by four to nothing in the first game and winning a comeback victory 10-9 in the second game The experience of the Wild Card series and the way you lost that series How do you think that will help you going into

2023

? Yes, I think it should help many. I think I understand how that felt, yeah, I think we can learn a lot from it and you know, to get to a high place in life, I feel like you definitely have to go through a lot of lows, learn and fight first.

And I think that's what's happened to us, not that we've really struggled, I mean, we've made the playoffs which we've had consecutively, you know, 91 seasons, so we've done a lot of good things, but you know. We've expected more of ourselves than we've done and so I think everything we can learn we've done and we're ready to make some big personnel changes in the front office this offseason for the Blue Jays and a promise. Really changing the way they play is such an exciting style of play that fans will love. It's kind of fun right now. I can't let you go without wondering how different the vibe or maybe the atmosphere is around this. team compared to previous years, is there any difference in the way this team heads into

2023

?

Well, I think there is a lot of confidence, as always, we have always had a lot of confidence. I think what's really good right now is we're all really working to win as many games as we can. We all agree with the fact that if we want to achieve what we want to achieve, it's going to be really difficult and it takes a lot of hard work, preparation and focus. I'm going to have to dig into it and everyone seems to be on the same page, so I'm definitely excited to see how it all goes. I know Blue Jays fans are excited to see what Boba Shet has in store for them in 2023, thank you for doing this, thank you. your hazelnut
