The Mets sign Bo Bichette to a 3-year, $126 million deal with opt-outs after years 1 and 2, adding a powerful bat as they rebuild and potentially reshuffle the infield; the move shakes the market after Kyle Tucker's record deal, prompting Toronto to move on, Philadelphia to pivot toward Realmuto, and Boston to recalibrate while Bichette’s position at third remains part of a larger infield logjam.
The New York Mets agreed to a three-year, $126 million contract with Bo Bichette, moving him from shortstop to third base, after missing out on Kyle Tucker. The deal, pending a physical and featuring opt-outs after years 1 and 2 with no deferrals, follows Bichette’s solid 2025 season (.311, 3.5 WAR). The move could reshuffle the Mets’ infield, with Brett Baty potentially seeing more time in left field as Bichette joins a division rival after the Phillies were also in the mix.
