"Infielder Bo Bichette and the New York Mets are in agreement on a three-year, $126 million contract, sources confirmed to ESPN on Friday. The deal, which was first reported by The Athletic, is pending a physical. The Mets are acquiring Bichette after missing out on top free agent Kyle Tucker, who is set to join the Los Angeles Dodgers on a four-year, $240 million contract. Sources had told ESPN's Jesse Rogers this week that New York had offered a short-term deal worth $50 million per season."
"Bichette nearly had an iconic ending to his 2025 season with a three-run homer in Game 7 of the World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays before the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to win the game and title. Bichette, who will turn 28 in March, was the youngest of the MLB veterans to hit free agency this winter. He had a strong bounce-back season in 2025, hitting .311 with 18 home runs and 3.8 WAR,"

Bichette hit .311 with 18 home runs and 3.8 WAR in 2025 and nearly finished the year with a three-run homer in Game 7 of the World Series. A late sprained knee ligament sidelined him for early playoff rounds before he returned with a .923 OPS in the World Series. Defensive metrics regressed to a career-worst minus-10 runs due to range concerns.
