Calls Mount for Blue Jays to Make Bo Bichette Move After His Postgame Comments
The Toronto Blue Jays are addicted to winning at Rogers Centre, and shortstop Bo Bichette is at the center of that success. The 27-year-old went 1-for-4 with two RBIs and a run scored in Monday's 4-1 win over the New York Yankees, which was the Blue Jays' franchise-record 11th straight home win.
Bichette has hits in 12 of his 14 games played in July and is slashing .346/.404/.558 with one homer and six RBIs in the month. The 5-foot-11-inch, 190-pounder also has five multi-hit games in that span.
Bichette said the Blue Jays' fan base is the most supportive it has been since he arrived in the big leagues, via MLB.com's Keegan Matheson.
'This is what I remember watching on TV when I was 17 years old at home, with [Jose] Bautista and [Josh] Donaldson," he said.
Donaldson was the AL MVP with Toronto in 2015 and led the team to the ALCS in 2015 and 2016. However, the Blue Jays haven't won a playoff game since then.
Toronto fans begged the team to re-sign Bichette in the replies to Matheson's post.
"GET THIS DEAL DONE. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE BO ON THE YANKEES," one said.
"Alright, just offer him a 10-year deal," another said.
"I think this translates to: Give me the pen and paper!" another said.
"You guys generate those cheers with your incredible play this season, Bo!!" another said. "Really hope he re-ups, we can't let him go."
"Ok so re-sign plz," another said.
Bichette is in the final year of his arbitration extension and is scheduled to hit unrestricted free agency this winter.

A former 7th-round pick could become a surprise receiving threat for the 49ers
The 2023 NFL draft hasn't borne much fruit for the San Francisco 49ers, but one seventh-round pick may be able to change that. Tight end Brayden Willis has seen limited action in his first two seasons, and the additions of TEs Luke Farrell and Ross Dwelley this offseason didn't bode well for his chances to make a bigger impact in his third season. When the 49ers selected Willis with the 247th overall pick there appeared to be some upside with him as a receiver that hasn't developed in the NFL. He caught 39 passes for 514 yards and seven touchdowns during his final season at Oklahoma. Since joining the NFL he's played only 73 offensive snaps in 17 games. As a pass catcher he's earned just two targets and doesn't have a reception. His path to more playing time starts with improving as a blocker, but making noise as a receiver could also earn him some additional snaps. He did just that in the team's third training camp practice. ESPN's Nick Wagoner included Willis's four-reception day as part of his practice recap on Twitter: A nice day for TE Brayden Willis, who hasn't established himself as much of a pass catching threat in the past couple of seasons. He had four receptions on the day and each of them would have gone for a decent gain. He even did a nice toe tap along the sidelines for a catch from Mordecai. Getting more receiving help from the TE group behind George Kittle would be a nice way to add a surprise wrinkle to the 49ers' offense. Farrell is primarily a blocker who was brought in to pass block while Kittle runs routes in multiple TE sets. Dwelley has also been a block-first player since originally joining the 49ers as an undrafted rookie in 2018. That duo has a combined 81 catches in 167 career games. It will take more than one unpadded practice for Willis to really make waves and move up the depth chart, but Friday was a good start toward the 49ers finding some pass catching help in an unlikely article originally appeared on Niners Wire: 49ers TE Brayden Willis may become much-needed receiving threat for SF

Summer McIntosh goes for her second gold on Day 2 at the swimming world championships
SINGAPORE (AP) — It's Day 2 at the swimming world championships in Singapore. That means it's a chance for Summer McIntosh to add her second gold medal after winning the 400 freestyle on the opening day. The 18-year-old Canadian is trying for five individual golds across the eight-day event in Singapore. On Monday she's a strong favorite to get her second gold, this time in the 200-meter individual medley. She set the world record of 2 minutes, 05.70 seconds at the Canadian trials a few months ago. McIntosh is expected to be challenged by American Alex Walsh. Also in the field is 12-year-old Chinese Yu Zidi, whose age and astounding times are the talk of global swimming. The women's 100 butterfly is another eye-catching race. American Gretchen Walsh — Alex's older sister — is the favorite and set the world record of 54.60 earlier this year. Roos Vanotterdijk of Belgium and Australia's Alexandria Perkins will push Walsh. Two more finals are set. Qin Haiyang of China and Nicolo Marinenghi of Italy are the favorites in the 100 breaststroke. The Italian is the Olympian champion from Paris, and Qin won this event two years ago at the worlds in Fukuoka, Japan. The 50 fly final is wide open, but the quickest qualifiers were Maxime Grousset of France and Noe Ponti of Switzerland. There are also three semifinals Monday — the men's 100 backstroke, the men's 200 free, and the women's 100 backstroke. ___ AP sports: Stephen Wade, The Associated Press
