The New‌ York Mets have agreed to ‌a three-year, $126 ⁤million contract with infielder Bo⁣ Bichette, ⁣as reported by MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand on January 16, ⁤2026. MLB.com confirmed ⁣the agreement.

The Mets intend to⁤ deploy‌ Bichette at third base, according to MLB.com’s Jon Paul Morosi. This move follows the ⁣Mets’ acquisition of second baseman Marcus Semien in November, trading outfielder Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers in the process. MLB.com ‌reported on the November trade.

Bichette revitalized his career in 2025 after a challenging 2024 season. Following a year hampered by injury and underperformance, he returned to his previous form, leading the ⁤American‍ League in hits over the three-year period from 2021-2023. ⁤ Concurrently, the toronto Blue Jays experienced a resurgence, winning the AL East and reaching⁤ the world Series, were they ultimately fell‌ short against the Los‌ Angeles Dodgers.

the Blue Jays extended a qualifying offer to Bichette after the 2025 season, which he declined. Accepting the qualifying offer would have resulted in a $22.025 million salary for the‍ 2026 season, but would ‍have also⁢ granted the Blue‌ Jays draft pick compensation. ⁤ Spotrac details qualifying offer details.
