Mets sign Bo Bichette to 3-year, $126M deal
The New York Mets have signed a big new player named Bo Bichette.
He will play for them for the next three years, and they will pay him $126 million.
This deal has special rules that let him leave after the first or second year if he wants to.
The Mets really wanted another player named Kyle Tucker, but he chose to play for a different team instead.
So, they are happy to have Bo Bichette join their team.
The New York Mets agreed to a 3-year, $126 million contract with infielder Bo Bichette.
The deal includes opt-out clauses after the first and second seasons.
The contract is pending a physical examination.
This signing comes a day after the Mets missed out on outfielder Kyle Tucker, who signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Mets are strengthening their infield with this significant free agency move.
