Mets land Bichette


After months of trying, Steve Cohen finally lured another superstar to Flushing. It just wasn't the guy anybody expected.

The New York Mets landed infielder Bo Bichette on a three-year contract, a source told Will Sammon of The Athletic. The deal is worth $126 million and includes full no-trade protection, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

Bichette receives opt-outs after the 2026 and '27 seasons and also gets a $5-million opt-out bonus, a source told The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. There's apparently no deferred money in the deal.
