Bo Bichette to the Mets on a 3-year, $126 million deal

The Mets have agreed to a three-year, $126 million deal with infielder Bo Bichette, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand on Friday. The club has not confirmed. MLB.com's Jon Paul Morosi is reporting that the Mets plan on starting Bichette at third base. Last season, Bichette returned to form as the star hitter who led the AL in hits over the three-season span from 2021-23. He posted a .311/.357/.483 slash line with 18 home runs and 94 RBIs. Despite missing most of the final month of the regular season due to injury, his 181 hits were only four shy of leading MLB.
