The Mets figured out how to rebound.

Bo Bichette is headed to Queens on a three-year, $126 million deal, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed on Friday.

The deal comes with two opt-outs and no deferred money. The contract is pending a physical.

The move for the infielder comes a day after the Amazin’s lost out on outfielder Kyle Tucker to the Dodgers. Tucker signed for four years and $240 million.

Bichette is expected to play third base, per Heyman — a position he’s yet to play during his seven-year MLB career.
