The Phillies looked like the clear front-runners to land Bo Bichette for a while. But just as the Dodgers landed Kyle Tucker, it seems like the Blue Jays might pivot toward re-signing Bichette instead.

Bichette needs to be the first of several splashy additions.

The Mets and shortstop Bo Bichette have agreed to a three-year, $126 million contract, a source confirmed to Newsday on Friday afternoon. Bichette will play third base for the Mets, according to multiple reports. He has no MLB experience at the position, logging 716 career regular-season games at shortstop and five postseason games at second base.

The Phillies agreed to a three-year contract with J.T. Realmuto after losing out on Bo Bichette, according to multiple reports.

Bo Bichette and the New York Mets have agreed to a $126 million, three-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press.

New York Yankees icon CC Sabathia wasn't overjoyed after the New York Mets signed infielder Bo Bichette on Friday.

The Phillies continue to miss out on the best free agents on the market, like Bo Bichette who signed with the Mets, because of this problem.
