Bieber is on a two-year $26 million contract with a player option for next season. If Bieber wants, he could enter free agency this winter, but Jake Ferraro from Fansided thinks the two-time All-Star could maybe stick around if the Blue Jays make a deep playoff run.

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired former Cy Young starting pitcher Shane Bieber on Thursday at the trade deadline. Bieber, who is working back from a 2024 Tommy John surgery, has not pitched in the majors this year, but could factor into the Jays plans down the stretch.
