Bo Bichette is officially moving past his World Series heartbreak to build a championship legacy with the New York Mets.
Losing Game 7 of the World Series in extra innings is the kind of scar that never fully fades.
The pain is incredibly real for anyone who watched that heartbreaking finish against the Dodgers.
You hit a go-ahead three-run homer off Shohei Ohtani on the biggest stage, and it still isn't enough.
Wallowing in the past never won anyone a ring anyway.
Now, Bichette is choosing to look straight ahead as he begins his highly anticipated chapter in New York.
«I have no choice but to be over it,» Bichette responded during Wednesday's appearance on Foul Territory when asked if he's moved on mentally from Game 7 of the World Series. «I got a new season. I'm with a new team, and I got to turn the page and be in the present now. But you dream of winning a WS.» -Bichette
The 27-year-old Bichette (Drafted Round 2, 2016 by Toronto Blue Jays) arrives in Queens with serious expectations and a massive three-year, $126 million contract.
Bichette finds his ultimate redemption path
We are absolutely thrilled to see a star of his caliber bring his electric bat to our lineup.
The star infielder is ready to prove he is worth every single penny of that deal.
It takes serious mental toughness to pack your bags and learn a brand-new position under the brightest lights.
Transitioning to third base is a massive challenge, but his elite athleticism makes it entirely possible.
His offensive production is exactly the missing piece the Mets needed to ignite this offense.
Bichette crushed the baseball last season, posting a gorgeous .311 batting average with 18 home runs and 94 RBIs.
Putting that kind of consistent contact bat next to Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto creates a true nightmare for opposing pitchers.
New York fans demand excellence, and Bo has the exact swagger required to thrive under that intense pressure.
He knows that every defensive play at the hot corner will be heavily scrutinized by the hometown crowd.
Yet, he openly embraces the intense microscope of the biggest market in baseball.
The sting of falling just two outs short of a title will fuel his competitive fire all season long.
He is turning his greatest disappointment into the ultimate motivation to conquer the National League.
This is a phenomenal opportunity for a phenomenal player to finally lift that elusive trophy.
