After missing out on Kyle Tucker, the New York Mets pivoted and signed infielder Bo Bichette, formerly of the Toronto Blue Jays, to a three-year, $126 million contract. Will Sammon of The Athletic was first with the agreement, with Jon Heyman of the Post reporting the terms.
Bichette, who turns 28 during spring training, had spent his entire seven-year career with the Blue Jays up until this point. He is a two-time All-Star and .294 career hitter who twice led the AL in hits as a Blue Jay. Bichette is also capable of 20-30 home run power when healthy, despite a smaller build at 5’11”, 190 pounds.
