"I have no choice but to be over it. I got a new season. I'm with a new team, and I got to turn the page and be in the present now. But you dream of winning a WS."
"Bichette is also learning a new position this spring, transitioning from shortstop, where he owns over 6,000 career innings of experience in the majors, to third base - a position he's never played professionally up until spring training this year."
"Any time he misplays a routine ground ball at third, he'll hear about it from Mets fans. If he strikes out during a pivotal situation, he'll hear from them. That comes with the territory of playing in a market like New York, which Bichette has openly accepted."
Bo Bichette, a 27-year-old infielder, signed a three-year, $126 million contract with the New York Mets after the Toronto Blue Jays fell two outs short of winning the World Series last fall. Bichette has mentally moved past the heartbreaking Game 7 loss and is concentrating on his new season with his new team. This spring, he is transitioning from shortstop, where he accumulated over 6,000 career innings, to third base—a position he has never played professionally. Playing in New York's intense market presents additional scrutiny, as fans will closely monitor his performance. Bichette has accepted the challenges that come with playing in such a high-profile market.
