Toronto Blue Jays' GM Ross Atkins has made it clear that star shortstop Bo Bichette is not on the trading block, despite his underwhelming performance last season. Bichette, who is set to become a free agent, remains a key part of the team's future plans, and Atkins is not interested in lowball offers.

Atkins emphasized the importance of Bichette to the organization and hinted that the team may consider a trade only if his value improves. The Blue Jays are also looking to enhance their lineup, yet reports indicate a focus on starting pitching rather than addressing offensive needs.

Additionally, the team is not prioritizing the acquisition of a backup catcher, despite a lack of depth following Danny Jansen's departure. Injuries to center-fielder Daulton Varsho could further complicate the roster situation as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
