Bo Bichette contract just changed Guardians' future with Steven Kwan | Sporting News
The Cleveland Guardians' chances of extending Steven Kwan's contract may have been significantly impacted by Bo Bichette's recent three-year, $126 million deal with the New York Mets. Kwan, a Gold Glove left fielder, is considered similar to Bichette in terms of his playing style, but Bichette's move to third base and subpar defense at shortstop could affect the financial expectations for Kwan.
…[T]he deal Bo Bichette just signed with the New York Mets to leave the Toronto Blue Jays in free agency may have just changed the math altogether.
Bichette got three years for $126 million. That works out to $42 million per year.
Kwan is a similar player to Bichette, a contact-first weapon at the plate. And Kwan is also a Gold Glove left fielder, while Bichette's shortstop defense was subpar enough that the Mets are moving him to third base, a position he has never played in professional baseball.
