Shane Bieber opts in to stay with Blue Jays after run to World Series
NY Post
Blue Jays star Shane Bieber is opting into his $16 million player option for 2026, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported.
Bieber will make $16 million in 2026, the final year of a two-year, $26 million contract that he originally inked with the Guardians last winter.
Had he declined his player option, Bieber would have received a $4 million buyout.
“This group is unlike any other that I’ve been a part of,” Bieber said following the season, per The Athletic. “That’s a sentiment that we all kind of shared.”
The Guardians traded Bieber to the Blue Jays on July 31, and the right-handed starter made seven starts in the regular season following the trade, posting a 4-2 record with a 3.57 ERA and a 1.017 WHIP.
During the playoffs, Bieber went 2-1 with a 3.86 ERA and a 1.446 WHIP.
