Meet the Mets with Bichette.
On Friday, Jan. 16, Steve Cohen, David Stearns and the New York Mets agreed on a three-year, $126 million contract with two-time All Star Bo Bichette.
The stunning move comes after a relatively quiet Hot Stove stretch for the Amazin’s and bolsters Carlos Mendoza’s club that lost out on the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes and unloaded fan favorites Pete Alonso, Edwin Diaz, Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil over the past three months.
Bichette, who led the American League in hits in 2021 and 2022, joins perennial stars Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, along with 2025 rookie phenom Nolan McLean and offseason acquisitions Devin Williams, Marcus Semien and Jorge Polanco as the team looks to rebound after a disappointing 83-79 campaign that started promisingly.
“According to sources, the current plan is for Bichette, who has only played shortstop in his major league career with Toronto — and never played an inning at third as a pro — to take over at third base, with Brett Baty playing multiple positions,” The Post reported.
If you’d like to see this re-tooled roster, tickets are available for all 81 Mets 2026 home games at Citi Field on sites like StubHub and Ticketmaster.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for any one game was $11 including fees on Vivid Seats for the Thursday, April 30 game against the Nationals.
In the event you’d like to see the Mets take on the Yankees in Flushing on May 15-17, prices start at $135 including fees on GameTime.
They won’t go head-to-head with Bichette’s AL Champion Toronto Blue Jays at home this year but will play them at the Rogers Centre from June 29 through July 1.
