The New York Mets signed infielder Bo Bichette to a three-year, $126 million today. The deal is pending a physical and will have two opt-outs. 

Bichette has a lifetime batting average of .294 in his seven years with the Toronto Blue Jays along with 190 doubles, eight triples, 111 home runs, 437 RBIs and 438 runs scored and 21 stolen bases.

He is a two-time  All-Star and has lead the American League in hits twice.

Last year, he hit .311 second in the American League with 181 hits, which was also second in the American League. Bichette had 521 at-bats, was ranked 13th in slugging percentage with .483, 12th in RBI with 94, second in the league with doubles with 44, and tenth in on-base percentage with .357.

Bichette is the third infielder that the Mets have picked up this offseason along with Marcus Semian who was traded for Brandon Nimmo and Jorge Polanco to a two-year $40 million deal.

Bichette brings professionalism and has proven to be a clutch hitter who gets on base.
