Wives of Max Scherzer and Shane Bieber react to Chris Bassit's spouse Jessica's heartfelt tribute after Blue Jays' World Series heartbreak

Chris Bassit's three-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays has ended. An emotional Bassit hand expressed interest in playing for the Blue Jays after the World Series Game 7 loss. However, whether the team re-signs a 37-year-old pitcher remains to be seen.

Bassit joined the Blue Jays in December 2022, signing a three-year, $63M contract. Notably, he was the American League wins leader in his debut season in Toronto.

Amid rumors linking Bassit to multiple MLB teams, his wife, Jessica, shared a multi-snap Instagram post on Wednesday. While the cove image was that of the couple, the post mostly featured a group snap of Jessica with the wives and girlfriends of Blue Jays players.

"How lucky are we? How blessed are we?". Those are two questions I have asked myself since the wheels took off of the runway in Toronto to come home. Did things end the way we wanted it to? No. But we gained something far more than a title. We were fortunate enough to be on the 2025 Toronto Blue Jays team," Chris Bassit's wife wrote in caption.

Jessica claimed that the team shook Canada to its core and made people fall in love with baseball again, bringing an entire country together.

"We laughed together, we cried together, we went on a month long rollercoaster bender together. We loved one another and truly enjoyed being around one another. I have never experienced anything like it in baseball - everyone coming together and supporting each other and families molded together by one common love, baseball," she added.

Jessica disclosed that she doesn't see the Blue Jays' World Series heartbreak as a loss, but rather the showing of grit, determination, and companionship. She admitted the journey was stressful, particularly on the children, but praised the women for being the glue that held everything together.

"I have a lot more to say, and maybe one of these days I will - about our Toronto Blue Jays story. But, for now, I will just say it was such an amazing privilege to be a part of this team, this organization, this ride, this moment for all of Canada," she concluded the message.

Among the many who commented on the post was Kara Maxine, the wife of Shane Bieber, and Erica, the better half of Max Scherzer.

"Our prayer leader ❤️ love you so much! What a wild ride it was. Blessed to do it with yall," Kara wrote. "I am so grateful we were able to have another season with you guys. Baseball with the Bassitts is special. Ilysm!! 💙," Erica wrote.

Bieber joined the Blue Jays in July 2025, arriving via trade from the Cleveland Guardians. He exercised his $16M player option for the 2026 season to play for the Blue Jays.

Meanwhile, Scherzer joined the Blue Jays in February 2025 for a one-year, $15.5M contract. Scherzer was the starting pitcher for the pivotal Game 7 of the 2025 World Series, opposite Shohei Ohtani.
