Bo Bichette dug in in the batter’s box, facing teammate Jose Berrios in the first live batting practice of the Toronto Blue Jays’ spring training. He has worked with his father, former major leaguer Dante Bichette, as well as former Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in the off-season. For Bichette, working hard is a tribute to his teammates. Bichette had a hit and scored in the Blue Jays’ 8-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers in Dunedin on Friday. He and right-handed starter Alek Manoah had their contracts renewed for the 2022 season on Wednesday after the pre-arbitration players and the Blue Jays couldn’t reach agreements on new deals.
