Overview

  • Multiple reports say the deal is for three years and $126 million with opt-outs after the first and second seasons, no deferrals, and a full no-trade clause.
  • Kyle Tucker signed with the Dodgers for four years and $240 million less than a day earlier, after the Mets reportedly offered four years and $220 million.
  • Bichette is expected to move from shortstop to third base for New York, with Francisco Lindor at shortstop and Marcus Semien at second base.
  • The 27-year-old posted a .311/.357/.483 line with 18 home runs and 94 RBIs in 139 games for the Blue Jays last season and is a two-time All-Star.
  • The move reshapes the market as clubs recalibrate targets, with reports pointing to Mets needs in the outfield and potential pursuits such as Cody Bellinger or frontline pitching.
