Despite Bichette's absence, the Blue Jays have dominated the Yankees in the ALDS, taking a 2-0 lead by outscoring New York 23-8 in the first two games. If they reach the ALCS and, potentially, the World Series, they'll need all their stars back and playing at their best.

If the Blue Jays have the good fortune of making it to the ALCS, it is not yet a guarantee that Bo Bichette will play.

It all comes back to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette. It always has. Since the sun set on those 2015 and ‘16 teams, which brought baseball back to life in Canada with their ALCS runs, Blue Jays fans have been waiting on the two chosen ones.
