Bo Bichette has inked a three-year deal worth a whopping $126 million with the New York Mets, according to sources close to the negotiations. The contract is part of an agreement that was pending a successful physical examination.
Under the terms of the pact, Bichette will receive a staggering $47 million per year for one season and $89 million per year for two seasons. Notably, the deal does not include any deferred payments, providing full transparency throughout its duration. Additionally, the infielder has secured a robust no-trade provision to protect his interests.
Bichette's impressive on-field performance in 2025 solidified his reputation as one of baseball's top players. The two-time All-Star shortstop hit 18 home runs and 94 RBIs for the Toronto Blue Jays, showcasing his exceptional skills.
However, Bichette's season was marred by an injury that forced him to miss several games, including the early stages of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite this setback, he managed to return in time for Game 1 and play second base for the first time in six years.
Bichette concluded the 2025 season with a .311 batting average, securing second place in the major leagues behind Yankees slugger Aaron Judge. He has previously led the American League in hits on two occasions and boasts an impressive career record of .294 hitter with 111 home runs and 437 RBIs in 748 games.
The signing comes at a time when Bichette was one of the last remaining high-profile free agents, following Kyle Tucker's lucrative $240 million, four-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

. i feel like these teams are throwing money around willy nilly now a days. what happened to just being the best player and earning it? this is just getting out of hand...
I get it, Bo Bichette is an awesome player and all, but 126 million dollars for three years is just insane! 
Like, have you seen the state of our public schools lately? We could be spending that kind of money on education and still find ways to save. 
But hey, at least he's getting a fair deal - no deferred payments or anything sneaky like that. 
And 47 million a year for one season is just...wow. I guess it's good that he got a robust no-trade provision too, so he can stay with the Mets and avoid some of the drama. 
Still, it's hard not to feel like baseball players are getting more money than they deserve compared to people working in other fields. 
I'm so hyped about Bo Bichette's new deal with the New York Mets! 126 mil is insane 
. The fact that he got a no-trade provision for his age and experience is super smart on his part 
. He's definitely an upgrade for the Mets and I'm excited to see him bring that fire to Citi Field 
. And let's be real, 47 mil per year ain't bad either 
. Bring it on, 2026 baseball season! 
. anyone else think bichette was snatched up by the mets or did they really have to go all out on this deal? 
I mean, he's already an incredible player, but 47 million a year is just crazy 
.
it's like he got paid in gold bars or something 
but at the same time i get why the mets would wanna lock him down for 3 years, especially with aroldis chapman's impending free agency
