With the news that Shane Bieber has exercised his $16-million player option for 2026, Sportsnet's Shi Davidi (1:14) stops by to chat with Sho Alli and Zack Bodenstein. They get into reasons why he might opt in, what it says about his own abilities, whether or not the strong clubhouse culture played a role in the decision, and what it means for the starting rotation going forward into the off-season.
