For a moment it looked like the team was in trouble when they missed out on superstar Kyle Tucker. He chose to sign a massive deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers instead. Fans were worried because the Mets had already watched several of their own top stars leave for other cities this winter.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">Team owner Steve Cohen and his staff did not stay down for long. Less than a day after losing Tucker they reached a deal with one of the best infielders available. <span class=\"citation-190 citation-end-190\">Bo Bichette is now joining the Mets on a three year contract worth over one hundred million dollars.<\/span> This quick response shows that the team is still very serious about winning right now.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"3\">Bichette is coming off a great season where he proved he is one of the most consistent hitters in the game. He will now join forces with Francisco Lindor to give the Mets one of the best infields in baseball. Even though he has mostly played shortstop in the past experts expect him to move over to third base for his new team. This change should make the defense stronger while adding a lot of power to the batting lineup.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">For the fans this news is a huge relief after a stressful off season. Seeing a big name finally choose New York gives everyone hope for the upcoming year. The team still has some work to do to fix their outfield but landing a player like Bichette is a great start. It shows that even when plans change the Mets are ready to spend whatever it takes to stay competitive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Mets just made a huge move to improve their team after a tough loss earlier this week\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":105315,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[34798,6181],"class_list":["post-105314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-bo-bichette","tag-new-york-mets"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105314"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105314\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
