Mets' Bo Bichette Adjusts to Third Base After Big Offseason Move

Mets third baseman Bo Bichette is actively adjusting to his new position, arriving early to spring training to work with manager Carlos Mendoza on fielding mechanics. The 27-year-old, who signed a three-year, $126 million deal, is transitioning from shortstop and learning the different timing requirements of third base. While he's not yet quantifying his comfort, Bichette acknowledges games will be his biggest test. His offensive prowess, including a .311/.357/.483 slash line with 18 homers and 94 RBIs in 2025, is expected to anchor the Mets' rebuilt infield, with Mendoza considering him for the third spot in the batting order.
