The New York Mets, in a quick pivot after failing to sign Kyle Tucker, have agreed to a three-year, $126 million contract with infielder Bo Bichette, sources confirmed to ESPN on Friday. The deal, which is pending a physical,

Bo Bichette and the New York Mets have agreed to a $126 million, three-year contract. That's according to two people familiar with the negotiations who spoke Friday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was subject to a successful physical.

Phillies officials reportedly went to bed on Thursday night believing they were nearing an agreement with All-Star Bo Bichette.

The Phillies had agreed to Bo Bichette’s request for a 7-year, $200 million deal last night and believed they would sign him until the Mets swooped in with their 3-year, $126 million offer after losing out in in the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes.

So while the Bichette addition eases the pressure to make a needle-moving addition this winter, the Mets presumably aren't done even as we enter the back half of January. Assuming that's the case, what might the Mets be plotting? Let's explore some options for the Mets and Bichette as the winter continues to unwind.

Cody Bellinger is the last man standing among the top position player free agents this offseason after Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker agreed to deals within hours of each other.

After losing out in the Kyle Tucker sweepstakes, the Mets pivoted and signed former Blue Jays infielder Bo Bichette on Friday.

“After trading for second baseman Marcus Semien in the offseason, the Mets plan on starting Bichette at third, according to MLB.com’s Jon Paul Morosi. The incumbent third baseman is Brett Baty, who delivered career highs in homers (18) and RBIs (50) in 130 games. Baty missed the last week of the regular season with a right oblique injury.“

The Mets have added a new third baseman by signing Bo Bichette, but what does that mean for Brett Baty's future with the organization?
