The New York Mets made quite the announcement this afternoon regarding their newly signing infielder Bo Bichette

A report says the New York Mets will hold Bo Bichette's introductory press conference Wednesday afternoon at 1 p.m. It would be his first public session since the World Series ended with Toronto.
For Blue Jays fans, the timing hits harder than the contract headline. His last game in a Toronto uniform was that Game 7 loss to the Dodgers on Nov. 1, 2025, the kind you replay in your head all winter.
The Mets part matters, too, because this wasn't a quiet move.
The reported agreement is three-year, $126 million deal, and it's the sort of number that closes the door on a reunion fast.

Bo Bichette press conference closes Toronto Blue Jays chapter

As a Jays fan, you want the respect, but you also want one last ounce of closure.
Hearing the #Mets will hold their introductory press conference for Bo Bichette tomorrow afternoon at 1 pm ET.

It'll be his first public comments since the end of the World Series and his final game in a #BlueJays uniform.
Now the baseball fit gets fascinating.
The Mets already have Francisco Lindor at shortstop, so the public discussion has leaned toward Bichette moving around the infield, likely third base, and that's a real adjustment in footwork and angles.
For Toronto, the impact is less about replacing a stat line and more about replacing a heartbeat.
The Jays leaned on Bichette for years, and when he was out during the 2025 playoff run, others had to cover shortstop duties on the fly.
The Jays can survive the position, but they'll miss the edge he brought every night. Wednesday's presser is the next milestone, because hearing him say it out loud makes the separation real.
